Pre-trip reflections; my first blog entry

1)Which part of the trip are you most looking forward to? Why?
-I am most looking forward to view the XiTang Ancient Water Town. It is known as the East Venice of the World. Though i have been there before, i am still anticipating to go there as it is a really beautiful place. It is very cultural and the view is breath-taking. I hope we will get to sit the boat and ride down through the Water Town. My memory of that place is vague but i can still remember all the fun i had when i was there. So i hope this trip will remind me and bring back all the memories i had when i was there with my family. This time, i am going with my friends. Soi hope that i will have more fun and laughter with them. Also, at the Water Town, we will be able to literally travel back to more than 2500 years as the buildings and structure of the place is very traditional. By doing so, we will be able to better understand the history and cultural practices of the people in Suzhou.

2) What do you hope to achieve from this trip?
I hope that through this trip, i am able to better understand China culture and traditions. Also, I hope i can better understand the education system in China. I hope that this trip will help me do better in my studies and achieve higher results. Through this trip, i hope to bond closer with my classmates and schoolmates and better understand one another.

3) What is the biggest concern that you are having right now about this trip?
The biggest concern i have is the timing. I am afraid that as there are many activities planned, we will be rushing around as there is lack of time. If we are rushing around, there will not be enough time to fully appreciate and view the traditions and culture. Also, we will not have as much fun as our mind will only be fixed on time.
