A group attended an evening event called Pecha Kucha where locals gave short, humorous presentations on various topics like donating a kidney, fitness, and travel. The next day, they observed an MSU panel discussion where American students asked them questions. Later, they planned to go shopping and meet with a partner teacher to discuss cooperating at the local school. When they invited their student guides to socialize on the weekend, the guides said they had to maintain professionalism but agreed to an "accidental" meeting downtown.

1. At MSU
Posted on February 7, 2013
We had a very nice evening yesterday – we were taken to the Ellen Theatre to see
Pecha Kucha:) google pecha kucha:) these were peculiar and hilarious presentations of
Bozeman people, we really had fun, people had fantastic sense of humour. One guy told
us a story of him giving away his kidney to a total stranger, there was a personal trainer
(a very sexy lady by the way) who told us about her sins like drinking alcohol and coffee,
someone had a speech on global warming, someone else about his travel to Mexico etc.
We should try it in our town – great fun!
Now we are at MSU having multicultural foundations panel, my group has finished and
now I am just observing the second one – American students are asking us different
questions:)
We are going shopping today and then we have partner teacher meeting later in the
afternoon so I am meeting the teacher with whom I am going to cooperate at school:)
Americans are crazy about being professional! When we asked our young “guides” to go
out with us at/on the weekend, we were told that they are not allowed to go out with us
because they have to be professional! They said that they can only meet us downtown
by accident so we agreed to meet somewhere by accident on Saturday;)
