Mr. Brian Maraa - International Programs Coordinator

Its finally here. Many of you have been waiting a long time for the XCE. You filled out applications, wrote essays, and went to

interviews. You waited for weeks as your teachers and administrators chose the participants. Then you waited some more while you

submitted documents, paid fees, and attended orientations.

Now its time to leave, and I know that many of you have mixed feelings. On one hand, you may be excited to experience new

things. You may have heard about how fun XCE is, and you want to have fun too. On the other hand, you may also feel nervous.

How will you survive for so long without family? Will you get along with your roommates? Will you be able to speak in Chinese?

It is just right that you feel these things. I can guarantee that the XCE will be a positive and happy experience--something you

will remember for the rest of your lives. I can also guarantee that it will be very difficult--maybe one of the most difficult experiences

you have had in your lives so far. So how will you manage the difficulty? Allow me to give three tips.

First, be flexible. Not everything will go the way that we plan or hope it will. Be willing to adjust in case things change. Be will-

ing to compromise with your roommates, as they might have different ways of doing things.

Second, be open. As you can read in our Tips for a Good Roommate Relationship, being open about how you feel will make

it easier for people to adjust to you. Be open with your group and your mentor. You have very helpful and and caring supervisors

who are willing to listen to you and guide you. Do not hesitate to talk to them. Be willing to share your thoughts, feelings, and ideas.

Finally, be proactive. This means that you should find out what you need to do on your own, and do it even before you are asked

to. Dont wait until the last minute to do things. Take charge of your experiences.

I pray that your journey will be a safe and memorable one. Take care and Luceat Lux!

Mr. Maraa

MESSAGES

Ms. Aimee Apolinario - Grade School OIC

Dear XCE boys,

There is so much to look forward to in the next six weeks, but don't let the excitemen

let you lose sight of the more important things you have to do and learn from the XCE.

While you are away from home, you will probably enjoy the independence that you

will experience. This, however, also means that you are expected to be more responsible.

No one will fix your things for you and no one will be there to pick up things for you.

When tasks are assigned, you are expected to manage your own time. Of course, your

teachers will be there to guide you, but the whole China experience will not be complete

you simply rely on others.Because of the different learning environment, you are most likely to have fun. This

actually good, but do not forget to take your school work seriously. The program is de-

signed to allow you to learn about the content of the different subjects but also about

China's culture, language, and its people. More importantly, the program aims at helping

you learn more about yourself and your identity as Xaverians and as Chinese-Filipinos.

We all pray for your safe trip and we will await for your exciting stories about China

when you come back here in school. Meanwhile, we shall journey with you through the

web so please keep in touch by posting updates and pictures. Take care of yourselves and

of each other to make this trip a fruitful and unforgettable one. Luceat Lux!

Yours truly,

Ms. Apol

Checklist

A rush of thoughts came to me as I walked into my classroom. Would our teacher be

strict? How would classes be conducted here? Would I be able to learn properly here?

Questions like those went to my head as I entered the classroom. All nervousness faded,

however, when I saw my teacher. - Anton Lapez

Living in Guangzhou

All I wanted to do on the first night was to get back home. But after a few days, I adjusted to the life

in Guangzhou, and I found out that most of my first impressions were wrong. - Russell Sy

About GuangzhouAlso known as Canton, the City of Five Rams, and the City of Flowers,Guangzhou is one of the most important cities in all of China. Withmore than 11 million people in the metropolitan region, it is the largestcity in southern China and the third largest city in all of China.

During the XCE, Guangzhou will be playing host to two important events:

the Canton Fair-- an annual event that allows businessmen from allover Asia to show their products and services.

The Asian Games--an event in which more than 9,000 athletes frommore than 40 countries will compete in sporting events

As you go through the Xavier China Experience, we hope you take time toenjoy and get to know this vibrant and dynamic city.

DISCIPLINE POLICIES

According to theshall have the authactivities, likeblies, contests,

Therefore, all provXCE. In additionnecessary, given th

avier High School Student Handbook Revised Version 2006, the schoolority to discipline students in the following places: at school-relatedn the school bus, during games, picnics, field trips, assem-or similar events.

isions written in the handbook shall apply to all XCE students during theo the offenses written in the handbook, a few particular reminders aree unique nature of this school activity. They are as follows:

GeneralBehavior /Conduct

Given the unpredictable nature of travel, proper conduct is of utmost impor-tance. Students are asked to remember that they are representing the school,and their language, clothing, attitudes, and behavior, should reflect that.

Students are asked to treat each other, their faculty team members, and all thepeople they meet with the utmost respect. Chinese laws and customs shouldbe observed always. The general rule is to act as if you are a guest in some-ones home.

Since students will be spending a lot of time exploring and seeing new things, itis important that they follow directions and instructions carefully. Failing tofollow instructions or participate in activities may result in a sanction, depend-ing on the gravity of the offense.

Supervision/ Curfew

It will be important for Xavier faculty to keep track of students locations atall time. Students must not leave the designated venue (wherever they aresupposed to be) without explicit permission from the supervisors. Leavingthe venue will result in severe sanctions.

Similarly, green slips may be given for breaking away from their assigned groupwithout permission.

There is a strict curfew of 9:30pm. Everyone must be in the dorm by 9:30pm,unless accompanied by a supervisor. Breaking curfew will result in sanctions.


8/46



Sanction

To serve out sanctions merited by the issuance of green slips, the following sanc-tions may be imposed:

Cleaning duties (room and/or hallway sweeping, mopping)

Detention (grounding) in the dorm

Suspension of participation in certain extracurricular activities

As usual, eight greenslips merits a First Disciplinary Warning

In the most severe cases, such as the possession of drugs, blatant destruction ofproperty, physical assault, or any case in which the student is a danger to himself orto those around him, Xavier reserves the right to send a student home. In such acase, the parents will shoulder the cost of flight arrangements for the student andaccompanying faculty member

Haircut /Room In-

spections

A haircut inspection will be implemented in Xavier School before the studentsleave for Guangzhou.

One haircut, preferably a barbers cut, will be required in China.

Students are expected to return their rooms in the same condition as (if not

better than) they found them. Rooms will be inspected weekly for cleanliness.

Random room searches will be conducted to check for contraband (bannedsubstances).

XCE GUANGZHOU DORM RULES

PERIMETER AND CURFEW

1. There will be times when you may go around the school campus. When you leave the dorm,

another student must always be with you. You must get permission from your supervisorbefore you leave the dorm.

2. You may not leave campus without your supervisor.

3. You should be in the dorm by 9:30pm.

4. Be in your room with your door closed and lights out by 10:00pm. At no point are you al-

lowed to be in someone elses room, unless accompanied by a supervisor.

CLEANLINESS

1. Take a shower every day and brush your teeth at least twice a day.

2. Every room should be kept clean and in order. Clothes and other personal items should bearranged properly.

3. There should be no unnecessary markings in the walls, floors, tables, or anywhere else inthe room or in the dormitory.

4. The bathroom should be clean. Your toiletries and towels should be properly arranged.

5. Supervisors will conduct room inspections of their respective groups every Sunday night.There may also be unannounced room inspections.

6. ALL occupants of the room will be given a greenslip upon committing three offenses in the

cleanliness inspection report.

3. In case of any emergency, go to any supervisor's room immediately to seek help.




10/46

WHEN OUT OF THE DORM

1. Use the CR before we leave.

2. Move quickly and efficiently. Watch where your supervisors and classmates are going. Ifyou need to stop for any reason, let your supervisor and your groupmates know.

3. If you're sitting on the bus or subway and an elderly person boards, offer your seat. Takenote especially if you are sitting in a seat reserved for the elderly or handicapped.

GENERAL BEHAVIOR REMINDERS

1. Be on time. Be prepared. Always check the schedule, so you know what to expect.

2. Watch your language, even when you think that no one around you understands. Plenty of

people understand English, and you never know if there are other Filipinos in the crowd.

3. Our goal is not just to follow rules and social customs. Our goal is to be models and exam-ples of good behavior. Let's aim to inspire others with our words and actions. Luceat Lux!



1. Do your laundry regularly. Dont wait for it to pile up! A good rule of thumb is to wash

every six or seven days.

2. Make sure you give yourself enough time. Set aside about an hour and a half. Althoughthe washing time is only about an hour, you still need to put the clothes / soap into the ma-chine and take everything back out. Then you have to hang your clothes to dry. Youll havemore time on weekdays. Many people will want to wash clothes on the weekends.

3. Sort your clothes into colored clothes and whites. This might mean two loads of laun-dry. You might want to combine your clothes with a roommate so that you dont waste aload of laundry (combine your colored clothes together in one machine and combine your

whites in another machine).

4. Turn the machine on and place detergent first. This allows the laundry detergent to

dissolve properly. Place your clothes in after you see the detergent has dissolved (after just10-20 seconds).

5. Do not place too many clothes in the machine. Gently place your clothes into the ma-chine. You should not have to stuffyour clothes down. If you place too many clothes intothe machine, none of your clothes will be cleaned properly.

6. Be ready to get your clothes early. Other people will want to use the machines also. Ifyour laundry is unattended, it may be taken out of the machine and placed on the floor. Ifthat happens to you, you will have to wash all over again...

Laundry Tips


11/46



The first time that I did my laundry, I felt like a newborn baby who didnt know anything. I

didnt know how to take out the dust and dirt from my clothes. I tried scrubbing, but I blis-

tered my hands especially when I got to the denim pants. To make it easy, I left the clothes

soaked on bleached water overnight and hoped that it would work. Guess what? The next

day, the water was black and my white shirts became colored! I felt as stupid as a goldfish

because I knew that I shouldve separated the coloreds from the whites. I forgot about this.

Now I have gotten used to doing my own laundry, no matter how hard it is. Because I tried, I

learned what and how to do my laundry. - Jon Chongson

TIPS for a GOODROOMMATE Relationships

You will be living with two or three other roommates for

six weeks. It is very important that you make an effort to getalong with them. Pay attention to the way that you act (howyou arrange your things, how long you spend in the bath-room), and be aware of the effect that your actions have onyour roommates.

Conflicts with your roommates may arise. Do not worry.Try your best to talk to the other person and resolve thesituation in a calm way. You do not need to tell everyone elseabout it or complain right away.

Here are some concrete tips that you can follow tominimize or avoid conflict:

1. Be clear from the beginning.Let your roommate know as soon as you can about your

little quirks and preferences. (like pressing the snooze button10 times every morning, or being a neat freak, etc.) It's notfair to expect him to pick up on them right away, and commu-nicating what you need is one of the best ways to eliminateproblems before they become problems.

2. Address things when they're little.Is your roommate always forgetting his stuff for the

shower, and taking yours? Addressing things that bug you whilethey're still little can help your roommate be aware of some-thing he may not otherwise know. Addressing little things is

much easier than after they've become more serious.

3. Respect.This may seem simple, but it's probably one of the biggest

reasons why roommates experience conflict. Respect meansasking permission if you want to borrow, use, or take any ofhis stuff, giving each other the private space and time that oneneeds, or simply just listening to what each one has to sayabout anything.

4. Be open.Be open to new ideas and experiences. You should e

to learn, grow and change, and the same should happyour roommate. Realize that things will change for boyou. Be comfortable addressing things that unexpectedly up, setting new rules, and being flexible to your changing

ronment. Keeping communication lines open will helpresolve any issues that may rise.

5. Follow the Golden Rule.Treat your roommate in the very same way you would

want to be treated. Remember that you cant control otpeople, but you can always control how you will relate wthem.


12/46



When you go abroad youre going to experi-ence new cultures, people, food, music and probably anew language. All of the newness, combined with thelack of familiar people and things, might cause you tohave some anxiety. This anxiety is called culture shock.Expect to experience some degree of culture shock.Culture shock can be put into four stages. Once youbecome familiar with the stages you will be betterable to combat it.

1. Honeymoon Stage The first few days after your arrival in a newcountry is usually easy. You are still excited and eagerto learn about the country you are in.

2. Frustration Stage After sometime your initial excitement maydecline. You may also start to feel frustrated. for vari-ous reasons. SInce your excitement diminishes, youmight start to feel disinterested about your surround-ing. Homesickness will start to creep in and you might

feel anxious about adapting.

How to handle the frustration stage Dont blame the host country or its people for

your feelings. Your anxiety and frustration happensto many people who study, work or travel abroad.

Remember, youre in a new environment and get-ting accustomed takes time. How you handle thisfrustration that determines how you grow.

Dont be negative; itll make things worse. Stay positive. Think about what youre learning

about new people, food, and culture.

Try keeping a journal chronicling your experiences.

3. Understanding Stage After a while, you will be used to your envi-ronment. This happens when you develop a morebalanced view of your experience. You become morecomfortable in your environment, gain new friends,become less homesick and handle situations better.

4. Acclimation Stage When you reach this stage, you feel that youbelong to the environment that you are in. You feelless like a foreigner and start to consider the countryas your second home. You can be objective about thegood and the bad aspects of the host country.

Once you reach the acclimation, youll have

the satisfaction of knowing that you can

live successfully in two cultures; this is a

huge milestone.

13/46



Stereotypes area set of assumptionsabout a certain group of peoplewhose actualbeliefs, habits and reali-

ties more often than not disagreewith the assumptions.

Stereotypes are usually basedon factors such as exaggera-tion, ignorance, racism, cul-tural factors or even histori-cal experiences.

Stereotyping is therefore a negativeway of seeing people. This is eventrue of what are called "positivestereotypes." A positive stereotype iswhere we use a blanket expression

for a whole people, i.e. all the Chi-nese are great at math, all Germansare well organized or all English peo-ple are well mannered. Although theintent behind the statement is posi-tive, it still does not reflect the truth.

The following are a few ways to getpast stereotypes:

1. Break AssumptionsEveryone has assumptions aboutothers. Assumptions are beliefsrather than truth and are usually in-fluenced by a number of factors. Peo-ple need to look at their assumptionsand ask themselves why they holdthose ideas or beliefs.

2. EmpathizeIn order to come to appreciate andunderstand people from differentcultures, empathy is vital. Throughputting yourself in someone else's

shoes you come to see or appreciatetheir point of view.

3. Avoid Herd MentalityHerd mentality refers to the idea ofsaying what everyone else is saying or

just thinking what everyone else is

thinking. Such a way of thinking limitscreativity, innovation and advance-ment as people are restricted in how

they think, approach and engage withpeople or challenges. Cultural com-petency can only develop if peopleare encouraged to think as individu-als, bring their cultural influences tothe table and share ideas that may beoutside the box.

4. Shun InsensitivityPeople can and do behave in cultur-ally insensitive ways. By attackingsomeone's person, you attack theirculture and therefore their dignity.This is divisive. When insensitive be-

havior is witnessed, it is the responsi-bility of all to shun it and ensure itremains unacceptable.

Intercultural

Communication Tips

http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/cultural-services/articles/intercultural-communication-tips.html

Working across cultures is a new experience formany people. Intercultural communication can bea dynamic and creative affair but occasionally dueto the inability to interpret people correctly it canbe a challenge. The following intercultural com-munication tips are provided to help peopleworking in international and multicultural envi-ronments get some basic insight into dealing

more effectively with people and not letting cul-ture become an issue.

1.Be Patient: Working in an intercultural envi-ronment can be a frustrating affair. Things may notget done when expected, communication can betiresome and behavior may be inappropriate. Pa-tience with yourself and others helps move be-yond such issues and address how to avoid similarincidents in the future.

2.Ask Questions: When you don't under-stand something or want to know why someonehas behaved in a certain way, simply ask. Askingquestions stops you making assumptions, showsthe questioned you did not understand them andhelps build up your bank of intercultural knowl-edge.

3.Respect: The foundation of all interculturalcommunication is respect. By demonstrating re-spect you earn respect and help create moreopen and fruitful relationships.

4.The Written Word: Sometimes peoplewho do not have English as their mother tongue

will read more proficiently than they speak. It is agood idea to always write things down as a backup.

5.Humor: In an intercultural environment oneman's joke is another's insult. Be wary of differ-ences in the sense of humor and also the accept-ability of banter and the like in a business envi-ronment.

6.Always Check: The easiest way of minimiz-ing the negative impact of intercultural communi-cation is to check and double check. Whetheragreeing something or giving instructions, a min-ute spent double checking all parties are 'readingfrom the same sheet' saves hours of work lateron down the line.

7.Be Positive: When faced with incidents ofan intercultural nature steer clear of blame andconflict. Stay positive, analyze the problem areasand work as a team to build strategies and solu-tions to ensure the same never occurs again.

8.Self-Reflect: A good intercultural communi-cator not only looks outwards but also inwards.Take time to reflect on your own communication,management or motivation style and see whereyou can improve as an individual.

Formation

It was a very hot day, but it was rain-

ing. This weather made it difficult to

dry my laundry. This got me worried,

but I let the days passed without

thinking about it. I felt all right until

it was time for me to decide what todo with my clothes. I was torn be-

tween washing my clothes or simply

hanging them to air dry. I decided to

wear my clothes twice that week.

When I woke up the next day, I knew

that something wasnt right. When I

got up, I washed my face and hair

and brushed my teeth. Then I got my

shirt and it stunk so badly! In the

end, I washed it including the others.

That day taught me a lesson to be

hygienic at all cost at all time. In-deed, that day was truly a really

memorable experience that I will

never forget. - Raoul Anonas

Keep a journal to record your experiences while abroad. This will not

only be a way of remembering your experiences when you return, but

will also be a manner in which you can measure your adjustment to the

host culture or progress in a foreign language.

Taken from Handout for Studying ABroad by Brown University Office of International Programs

XCE is not just a trip to China,its a journey within. As you take

note of the world around you, pay

attention to your inner world as

well. In the pages that follow, you

will have a chance to reflect on your

relationship with God, attend to

your emotional experiences, develop

life skills, and come to greater ap-

preciation of family and friendship.

Go back to the last night before you left for China. After you have packed

your belongings, what thoughts were running through your head? How wereyou feeling about the upcoming trip? What did you expect XCE to be like?

To toil and not to seek for rest,

To labor and ask not for reward,

Save that of knowing that I do

Your most Holy Will.

ANG PUSO KOY NAGPUPURI

Ang puso ko'y nagpupuri

Nagpupuri sa Panginoon

Nagagalak ang aking espiritu

Sa 'king Tagapagligtas

Sapagkat nilingap Niya

Kababaan ng Kanyang alipin

Mapalad ang pangalan ko

Sa lahat ng mga bansa

Sapagkat gumawa ang Poon

Ng mga dakilang bagay

Banal sa lupa't langit

Ang pangalan ng Panginoon

Luwalhati sa Ama

Sa Anak at sa Espiritu Santo

Kapara noong unang-una

Ngayon at magpakailanman

I LOVE YOU LORD

I love you, Lord

And I lift my voice

To worship You

Oh, my soul rejoice!

Take joy my King

In what You hear

Let it be a sweet, sweet sound

in Your ear
