China: too much to talk about, so little roomFor a week in September 2011, I, with a small group from my high school’s band, went to Shanghai, China. The food, the smells, the class of people on the street and how they interact, were all different than here in the U.S. I saw a few things that I wished were more common in the U.S. but I...

Long time or short time. Is six months a long time? I swear, I was drinking hot chocolate in Grovers Mill Coffee House on a rainy... Category: china |

Going to GuangzhouI recently took a trip to Guangzhou, China with my family of 6. We flew Air China and stayed in the White Swan Hotel for about two weeks. The White Swan is a super nice hotel. Each floor has an attendant and they are so willing to help and very polite. I really enjoyed watching the... Category: china |

China: Come Join Them in the SquatIf ever you plan on traveling to China, don't hire a tour guide, or at least don't hire my tour guide. Having a tour guide around China was probably the worst experience of my life. Have you ever read The Odyssey? Do you know the part where he enters the Land of the Lotus-... Category: china |
