Welcome to Bridge China 2010! We are overjoyed to be back with Windsor Mountain for another season. We are ready to begin this wonderful journey—we hope you are too. We are so glad that you will be spending July with us! This trip will be action packed: among other things, we will learn Chinese at Beijing Normal University, climb the Great Wall, walk the Forbidden City, and stroll through the ancient Qian Men shopping market. We will visit the oldest movie theater in China, design and teach an awesome Friendship Camp during our Homestay week in Pengliu, and see the amazing Terracotta Warriors outside of Xi’an. Finally, we will finish our trip in one of the most exciting cities in the world—Hong Kong.
We hope you are all ready to learn and grow through this wonderful travel experience. As your leaders, we cannot wait to meet and get to know each and everyone of you. We love to travel and have been leading summer study abroad trips for 6 years now—we truly believe that this summer will be the best ever. Along with your personal belongings, please bring along a sense of adventure and an open mind. We will encounter many different situations where you might be pushed outside of your comfort zone: all we ask is that you bring yourself fully to the program every day, and do your best. If everyone gives it their all, then everything will be fine. One last thing: please follow the packing list! Pack light, and remember that China is HOT during the summer.
Are you ready? We are! You should all be looking forward to one of the most exciting journeys of your life!
Sincerely yours,
Yi Peng March Wang
