So everyone. What are you all doing for the summer?
Because I'm going to
China. for four weeks.
My first few days will be spent in
Beijing, where I'll see
ancient temples,
the Forbidden City,
Tiananmen Square, and of course,
the Great Wall of China. Then it's off to the mountain resort town of
Chengde, where I'll be staying with a host family, teaching English to Chinese schoolchildren, and seeing more
ancient temples. After that we head to the open grasslands of
Mongolia. There, we shall ride horses and
camels and have some fun
sand skiing in the Gobi desert.
When we return to China, we live with another host family, this time in a rural farming village.
Finally, we'll do our last bit of traveling, hitting up
Qufu, birthplace of Confucius,
Jinan, and last but far from least,
Shanghai.
Hells to the yes. This summer is going to rock.
