This in high school or college hehehe. I figure high school since you are making such a big deal out of it. =)

My Chinese class back in high school went to China every winter break. I never went though... wrestling season.

In college... you'll love studying abroad then.

hey if u're going to china, a word of advice.
You obviously stand out as a tourist so be very careful.

Me and my family went to Beijing a while ago and let me share a ridiculous story with u guys.

My mom bought a hat for my lil brother and he was wearing it on his head after we had paid for it. About 20 meters down the road, the vendor suddenly ran up behind us, snatched the hat and ran back to his store. We went back to ask him for the hat and he claimed that we never bought one.

ALL THIS while a cop was standing like 5 meters away from his store! He had obviously seen everything but was probably in cahoots with the vendor to split our money!

It was not a lot of money but i just have to tell this story.

What was once a powerful and rich nation reduced to such a state of moral shambles...
sigh.
By the way, I am asian so maybe its a different story if u're white
