阅读短文，回答下列问题。
There is a big difference between knowing another country from social media and experiencing it in person. This is what students from the US and China discovered during an eight-day exchange journey. From March 24 to 31, a group of 15 students from the US went on an education and cultural exchange in China. For Michael, a 15-year-old 10th grader, this was his first time going abroad. While in Beijing, Michael bravely tried douzhi, a fermented (发酵的) bean juice. It is a challenge even for locals. However, he finished three bowls in a row. Besides Chinese food, Michael also likes Chinese people because he thinks they are welcoming and open-minded.
"I tried out table tennis after classes ended, and the Chinese students played like professionals," he said. "In the United States, students usually do sports through clubs and sports teams. Sports are more for fun here."
The learning was two-sided. Li Weiyou, a 15-year-old student from Beijing No. 4 High School International Campus and also Michael's homestay partner, said, "Before I knew Michael, I thought US students paid more attention to personal development than schoolwork. But to my surprise, Michael does well in both," Li said.
With technology and media developing quickly, teenagers can get information about other countries online easily. However, online searches show only a tiny part of the full story of cultural exchange. "If I hadn't taken this trip, I wouldn't have learned about the high school life of Chinese students," said Michael.
For Michael, the week-long trip even influenced his further aspirations (抱负). "I used to consider becoming a Maths teacher in the United States. Now, I'm dreaming about teaching English in Beijing or Shanghai in the near future."
