Our first day of the Buzz Newsletter and there wasn't a lot that we were able to do, as the stories needed to come from what happened in that day. Phil told me to look at different newsletter designs, something a bit more diverse than the normal newspaper columns. I thought about changing the shape of the columns, which then developed into a broken glass theme. One of the Chinese students, Li, said that it looked like the earthquake, or the volcano that had just erupted, so we had a good link. The chinese students worked really well and didn't need much guidance; their end layout design with the chinese lucky charm was clean yet quirky, and had a lot more thought than past designs.
In the evening, we had the karaoke. This I was not looking forward to, but with the help of a few beers, by the end of the night, I went with most of the GDers to sing Bohemian Rhapsody, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think the courage of the chinese people, regardless of talent, really helped to give me that push. We later went out for tea, I had "the best noodles in Hangzhou" and all in all was a really good day.
