Friday & Saturday
... why I was homesick was because Chen Xia stayed home from school sick so I was without a host student on Friday. Also it's midway through the trip so I think it's normal to be a little home sick. But today I am good and we went to eat sushi for lunch! It was so good! Today I think I'm going shopping with some other booker t kids while school is going on in the afternoon. Should be fun!!! And tonight we are getting all the host students together for a party!!! I can't ...

He asked us where we were going (which by this point we were unsure of ourselves!) and said he could help us get to Hainan.
We had the instructions of how to get there from our rough guides and all we ...
Duped Detour....
This was truly an unexpected stop-off. You might say we fell victim to our first scam. We started off as expected, arriving at Shenzhen (Chinese side of border with Hong Kong) at 7pm. The plan was simple. Take one sleeper bus directly to the beautiful scenic town of Yuangshuo.
Now, we soon learnt that obtaining bus/rail tickets in China approaching holiday season can be a lottery. The stations sell out of tickets weeks in ...
