After a 30-hour odyssey of cancelled flights, a reroute to Chicago, and a bus to Ann Arbor, 36 UM SPH students and staffers are back from China. Coming home is about clothes washing (with smoky smells lingering from coal-burning furnaces), distributing souvenirs to friends and family, and starting to sort through hundreds of photos and impressions. While acompanying Tianjin CDC hosts for a week to urban and rural sites, the UM contingent had amazing access into China's health and environmental infrastructure. It was an exchange of information and ideas, but also of curious stares--and smiles.
