As one of the more interesting experiences of my life, Purdue along with a group of Australian students were invited onto a Chinese talk show. We were ushered ushered onto a small stage where an elaborate set was in place. The talk show started with the introduction of an eighty-eight year old gentleman who aspired to take part of the Olympic volunteer program, and another man who was a supervisor for the volunteers.
The host of the show, along with the pianist were great at setting different moods for the show. The show had several different turns with either humorous portions, such as asking the audience to conduct interviews, to serious ones where students with disabilities provided the audience with small gifts.
After the show was over, the majority of the audience rushed onto stage to take a picture and greet the host and his guests. To our surprise, the elderly gentleman was actually a University of Michigan alum, and it was an incredible experience talking to him about going to a Big-Ten school back in the 40s.
