I interviewed Max Duchesne, a 22-year-old from Brookline, Massachusetts who is studying computer science and Max explains that he identifies as half-Chinese. This interview was conducted on March 30, 2023 via Zoom. In this interview, we dug into Max\u2019s trip to Seoul over Janplan. We discussed his motivations for visiting, some of the landmarks that he visited, and the food that he ate while he was there. The interview covered the surface-level reasoning behind the trip as well as digging deeper into how he felt as though the trip impacted him and some of the things he learned from his time there. We dug into how he felt he was treated as a tourist and how the trip compared to his expectations. This interview covers topics such as landmarks to visit in Seoul, cultural differences between the United States and South Korea, and a tourist perspective of current political issues that are happening on South Korean soil. Max and I have known each other for some time now, as we grew up together and were a part of the same sports teams. This interview was conducted over Zoom to get the best sound possible as well as to eliminate the struggle of finding a quiet place for us both to sit and talk. This interview was conducted by Ethan Hillenberg, a second-year History major and Computer Science minor who is interested in getting a full understanding of the intricacies of the world and how political influence has shaped the world we live in today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/voices\/files\/2023\/04\/EthanHillenberg_2023-03-31_01.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The Interview: Ethan Hillenberg x Max Duchesne <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Max&#8217;s Background:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interviewee for this project is Max Duchesne.
