International Visitor Snapshot
Ms. McShane, UCCD Member and first-time Home Host, relates her experience hosting Mr. Batjargal Oldovsambuugiine, a Delegate from Mongolia examining US Transportation Systems [pictured centered at the Utah Department of Transportation].
"I had the honor of home hosting Batjargal Oldovsambuugiin from Mongolia on Saturday, October 11. I was a little nervous leading up to the dinner, having never hosted a foreign dignitary before, but I needn't have worried. Not only was 'Bat' a very gracious guest, we had a very entertaining time speaking with him. But, let me start at the beginning." Continue reading. |

"What The World Thinks About Us"
by Boris Kachka | Condé Nast Traveler, Nov 2008  Sherry L. Mueller, President, National Council for International Visitors, shares her expertise in this Condé Nast Traveler piece.
"There have been better times to be an American, at least in terms of world opinion, yet tourists and immigrants continue to flock to the United States. And when they do, they find that our mores are a lot more complicated than what pop culture, or the chance encounter with fanny-packing tourists, has led them to believe." Continue reading. |
