School Visit in China

7/12/2019

0 Comments

 
On every trip to China, whether with a student or mixed age group, I try to visit a local school. The experience is amazing for all involved. We Americans get a glimpse into life in a Chinese school, which is rigorous. Kids are there from early morning through dinner, but usually don't have a lot of homework once they leave school. In the villages, there are often 30-40 students in one room (and they are all well-behaved). Their schools are rudimentary in comparison to the schools in the U.S. but that does not seem to prevent them from excellence in their future careers. 

For the Chinese students, a visit might be the most exciting thing that has happened in a year, or perhaps in their lives, depending on the location of the school. There is a lot of giggling and singing and hand motions to try to communicate. They have a basic command of English, but are often embarrassed to use it.

​I am always amazed when we are asked for our autographs. They bring their notebooks to us and ask us to sign our names. I write a sentence or two as well. The picture below is one of my many moments of celebrity during my time in China.

    I have traveled all over the world, including adventures in China, Uganda, Taiwan, Thailand, Cambodia, Argentina, Vietnam, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland, England, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Costa Rica, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Dominican Republic, Mongolia, Netherlands, Canada and Mexico!  My greatest love is introducing Americans to the sites, traditions and people of China.  My hope is to give travelers a new lens through which to see the world.
