One of the many purposes of having the residency experiences overseas, beyond just exposing the students to business climates around the world, is the immersion experience. Leaving behind work and our regular day-to-day lives has the effect of improving focus on the school tasks at hand, but it’s not without a price. Being +12 hours has made communication with my wife difficult, emails that are sent to me from home tend to get answered about 12 hours from when they are sent, and when I get around to reading my favorite news and entertainment websites, the content has already become stale.
When I’m at a residency, I almost never read the local newspaper, nor do I watch television. Our schedules are generally so tight that there really isn’t time. However, I couldn’t help but notice the headline on the newspaper this morning: National Mourning Day.
