Our Chinese Teachers: Rona and Sabrina

Here's the group of teachers for the trip. (from left to right) Sabrina, Stephanie, Yasmen, Bob, Rona. Monday, March 30 we had a workshop where we learned some Chinese words and phrases. The two teachers from Heilongjong University are very patient, with us who have very little Chinese language skills. We can count to 100 now, in case we want to spend some money. We can say "hello", "thank you", "good bye", "good morning" "good afternoon" and "good night" Other than that, we'll be relying on our translators and guides. It's getting close to our travel time. Everyone is getting excited!
