So, who wants to write my will?
Here is the initial "class" itinerary regarding the backpacking trip to china. Any suggestions?
Class title:
Reckless Cultural Immersion:
The China Project

Course Mission: This course is designed solely for the development of independent learning.

Course workload:
1. Keep a daily journal.
