On July 27, the Cross Cultural Internship Program (CCIP) students headed to Woodbury Commons Outlet, a major shopping destination two hours away from New York City in Central Valley. The outlet features 220 stores with famous designer labels at discounted prices, attracting many who visit New York City.
When the students reached their shopping destination, they eagerly roamed the large outlet and marveled at the displays and luxury goods at Burberry, Coach, Prada, and more. The students enjoyed a day filled with window shopping and purchasing apparel and accessories for themselves and their friends and family back home.
The students returned to the bus in the evening exhausted but content with their shopping experience. While many of the students enjoyed the deals they found, all the students also appreciated seeing another area of New York that was very different from the busy metropolis that New York City is.
"So many people are here at this outlet, but it's still different here compared to New York City," said Juno Luk, a student at the University of Hong Kong studying business and law. "It was good to see a different part of New York that I'd never seen before."
