Many thanks to Casey Nolin, who was on the press trip with me, and who took the photo of me which accompanied my article.
I have many more China stories on the China destination page, including a story about the most expensive tea in the world for Montecristo Magazine: The tea that caused a diplomatic crisis.
Thx for sharing.Great

I’d think that would be an effective method, but I’m not a language learning expert. Good for you for learning another language though.

It gets awkward at first but in the end turns out to be an amazing experience :D Being a travel enthusiast, I have been connected to people and hearing so much of related stories at Linkagoal.com which helps people to achieve their goals by connecting with individuals of similar interest.

Hi Frank. I completely agree — awkward at first, but then a great aspect of the trip and an insight into Chinese culture. Hope you enjoyed your trip too.
