HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam
After spending her first full day in Vietnam, junior Elizabeth
Austin checked in with RedStormSports.com to talk about her
initial thoughts on the team’s trip.
RedStormSports.com: What were your first
thoughts when you found out the team would be traveling to
Vietnam?
Elizabeth Austin: When we found out we were going to
Vietnam, I got really excited. This a great opportunity to
experience another culture and to play volleyball internationally
against a bunch of different countries.
RSS: Now that you have arrived in Vietnam,
what are your thoughts?
EA: I had no idea what to expect at first. It is very
different from any other culture I’ve experienced. It is the food,
the living style, the different kinds of businesses and so much
more.
RSS: What have you enjoyed the most so
far?
EA: Experiencing the different types of food and the way
they eat their meals. There are a lot of dishes that are presented
to you in one meal and everything is served family style.
RSS: What has been the hardest part to
adjust to?
EA: The humidity but that is only because we haven’t had
this kind of weather yet in New York. It takes a while to get used
to and to get used to playing in it as well.
