"Is the hotel you're in comparable to any here? Could you possible send us pictures of the hotel you're staying in? How is their school (for students our age) similar or different than ours? How is their educational system different or similar to ours (for example, how are their students taught versus the way we do it here)? How old is their school? Has there been anything/s that have scared/worried you on your trip thus far-beyond making the flight? What's the weather like this week? How much English learning does a class of Chinese students get each day?" -from the Millerites

Hotels were great, very clean and used the GREEN concept, use your card keey to turn on power when in the room remove key when leaving power goes off. School is grade 1-6, 1900 students, 30 classrooms, 104 faculty, 50 to 60 plus pere class. School was built in 1953, 54 years old. I was very concerned about what I would encounter at the school, It was wonderful students, staff administration welcomed me with open arms and hearts. English, 3 times a week for 35 minutes from grade 3. Weather beautiful trees in bloom, 75 degrees.
