CP # 10 pamela Weiji Chen

w.Iober 25 I received an email from Weijia on Wedday. We scheduled to meet on Friday after her class ended at 1 o'clock, at Starbucks on Tennessee Street. Weijia had arrived from China a fee weeks ago. She wants to pursue her Masters in the fieldvof communications. I asked her if she planned on working in America after she graduated and she said her goal is to work in Japan as communications specialist for for a major corporation. She said there is a high demand for communications specialist in China! but jobs are few. In Japan she can make just as much income and that tgere are more opportunities for employment. She also said that even though she is in America for education the chances ofvjer getting good employment here was slim. WeijiI asked her what was her interest in what she wanted to learn about American culture; and what kind of experiences she wanted to take back with her to China. Weijia said that she wanted to make a few American friends and maybe just talk. She has little free time, because she is trying to complete her assignments and focus on Grad school. I suggested that we could go to the North Florida fair, coming up in a few days. I explained that it is a custom in America for traveling carnivals and farming shows to come once a year. Weijia said they had similar festivals in China. She said she would let me know what her schedule was like in the upcoming weeks and we can discuss it later.
