I thought that the Mandarin trip was super fun. I enjoyed diving into a culture that I did not know much about at all. My favorite part of the trip was visiting the school in Suzhou. I thought it was super interesting to see how schools worked in a different country and culture. I thought it was super cool trying all the different foods that China had to offer. I enjoyed Beijing a lot more than Shanghai. My favorite thing about Beijing was how it had so much more history than Shanghai had. It was so interesting learning about the rich history of ancient China. If I were to go back to China I would love to visit the other cities there especially like Hong Kong. All in all I thought it was a wonderful trip and I learned so much along the way.
