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.
