Day 17

The last full day in China! One of the saddest days, but also the most fun! Another unfortunately cloudy and extra humid day. We started the day by going to Lan Tao island. We went on cable cars that took us on a 25 minute trip to the mountain. Once we got there, we walked […]

Day 16

Today was our first full day in Hong Kong! Unfortunately, we were able to bring good weather to all the other cities we visited but we failed to reveal the sun in Hong Kong. It was cloudy and rainy all day, but we still managed to have a successful and fun day! We started the […]

Day 15

Today was our last travel day within China. We woke up very early in the morning to catch an early train ride to the airport. We took maglev train, which is a train so fast that it felt like we flew to the airport in ten minutes. It was the most comfortable train, with seats […]

Day 14

Today was a very interesting day, considering the fact that half of the day we were given free time! I thought that it was really exciting to have so much free time in such an amazing city. First, we started the day by walking to an architectural museum to look at the development of the […]

Day 13

Day 13 Today was a somewhat relaxing day. It was a late morning with a laundry run. We went into a nice plaza with a lot of different stores (including a hotel where we could do our laundry). While we were waiting for out laundry, we walked around and bought breakfast and shopped a bit. […]

Day 12

Today was out last day with Da Tong high school! And even though I have only spent two days with my buddy, it is very sad to leave. My buddy was a very talented English speaker, and ( although it was challenging to communicate at times) it was extremely fun to get to know her […]

Day 11

Today was an extremely nice day, and very eventful. The day started very very early, leaving the hotel at 7:30 am. We took the subway yet again, but ended up getting split up for some reason. So, half of our group made it to the school on time while the other half did an extra […]

Day 10

Today was an amazing day, the first full day in Shanghai! To start the day off, we had a breakfast in the hotel then set out for the subway. Instead of using the tour buses that we used to have, we travelled by subway to get to the school. It was a great experience, and […]

Day 8

Even though it was rainy and not a very nice day weather wise, today was a magnificent day. Again, we had a later excursion that started at 2:15, so we had a free morning. After breakfast, I went back to my room to finish up a reading that we were assigned for a morning discussion. […]

Day 7

Today was our first full day on the cruise! And this is literal, for our excursion didn’t leave until 4 pm, so we spent the majority of the day on the boat. We got up early in the morning for a nice breakfast, then met up to discuss the reading we did the day before. […]
