    My first experience with Global Village was overall pretty good, a little chaotic, but overall interesting and fun to look at other countries cultures. I liked looking back at all the pictures, and it’s also good for people who missed Global Village and wants to see what they missed.

    I loved how the photos were the centerpiece of the story and placed in a collage format. For readers who did not get to attend the global village the images were able to give the audience a recap of the day. I also liked how you could hover over the picture and read a little bit about the booth or country you were looking at.
