Alien Encounter

Our discussion topic at TABLEtalk last night was 'Alien Encounter - stranger in a strange land'.

After completing a survival exercise groups, especially our newly arrived students, were asked to consider what they needed in place not simply to survive but to thrive during their time here. Here's a list of thoughts from the students  ...

  • Learn to cook
  • Buy warm clothes, an umbrella and get accommodation with good heating
  • Learn good time management
  • Develop friendships
  • Move outside your own language group and culture
  • Get involved in some sport activity or find other ways to relax
  • Respect each other
  • Be open-minded and flexible
  • Don't be shy
  • Ask questions
  • Participate everywhere, especially at TABLEtalk
  • Seek help before you hit a crisis
  • Laugh lots!
  • Don't take yourself too seriously
  • Escape from Medway occasionally
