Ft. Worth & AA Museum

Our final cultural outing with our sisters from Taiwan was today to Ft. Worth. There, we visited the famous Ft. Worth Stockyards and the newly remodeled American Airlines museum. Our guests loved the old world western charm of the stockyards and seeing the cattle drive move down the road. They had a great time at the AA museum with the interactive activities such as the luggage loading. It was another fabulous day for our Taiwanese sisters in Texas! 

Snack Party with Stella Matutina

Today we had an extra special exchange with the Taiwan delegation. Our ASU (Asian Student Union) Club held a snack exchange party in their honor. Our UA students sampled some snacks brought from Taiwan and our Taiwanese guest students sampled some typical American treats and snacks. It was so much fun - and pretty amusing also! The snack party was such a success that we are planning to continue this new tradition with all of our visiting delegations.

Serving the Dallas Community

Last night our guests from Stella Matutina joined our SRO (Students reach Out) club in serving the community. They went to the Hillcrest House to serve dinner to the residents who are living with HIV. The dinner was from Babe's Fried Chicken - a very typically southern, delicious meal. Not only did the students serve the community, they also learned a lot about Texas cuisine. The best part of the experience was laughing and sharing with the Hillcrest House residents together with our Stella sisters.

Stella Matutina visits Fossil Rim

Today our visiting delegation got to leave the big city with some of their host sisters. They drove about an hour and a half to Fossil Rim Wildlife Park in Glen Rose, Texas. There, they learned about animal conservation and they had the opportunity to feed some of the wildlife. The giraffes were the absolute favorite!! Additionally, all were very excited to see not only a baby giraffe but also a baby rhino - so cute!!  What a marvelous day with our friends!!

Dallas Day with Stella Matutina

Today our sisters from Taiwan had their first experience of downtown Dallas. They visited the 6th Floor Museum, ate lunch at the original El Fenix and rode up to the Geo Deck at the top of the Hyatt Regency Hotel. It was a fabulous way for our guests to be introduced to Big D!
