Orientation Continued

Another interesting day at the Fletcher school. Today we started with two hours of icebreakers. I could say a lot of things, but in the end it wasn't as painful as it could have been. One question was which political figure we'd like to meet if we could, living or dead? I said Thomas Jefferson. My partner went with Salvador Allende. Professional hero? I went with Ted Sorensen. My partner? A friend of his who works as a democratic activist in China.

So, I'll let you draw out the differences there.

The interesting conversations also continued. I spoke with a young man from Switzerland, also named Chris, about the different approaches our countries took to immigration. I also spoke with an attorney from Puerto Rico about the criminal justice system there. Quite a day.

More reports tomorrow.
