She saw light coming from a room nearby, and stealthily made her way over towards it. Crouching down, she heard two men talking. She licked the tip of her finger, then wet a small part of the window paper and made a hole in ...

... can't work out how this whole capitalist communist state thing works and our guide Tomic doesn't seem to be able to explain it either.<br><br>After checking in to our hotel, we took the bus to Tiananmen Square. I have never seen so many people in one place in my life! Tiananmen Square can hold a million people and I should think there were close to half a million people there when we arrived.

Previous students who have been on this trip say it is an experience of a lifetime. We will see many religions, cultures, art and architect along our trip. While I will be away from my computer I will make sure to keep a detailed journal of my trip and transfer it onto my blog. I cannot wait to tell my adventures! We all ...
