Touring China during the Spring Festival was fun - 7 planes, 5 ferries, 1 boat cruise, 1 subway, 1 bus trip (oh my!) and several taxicabs in 14 days. I learn a lot about China’s history, beautiful ancient buildings, 300 year old cypress trees & customs. The people were friendly and generous. The crowds were overwhelming but did offer me the chance to “rub shoulders” with the locals. Food I love the dumplings, spring rolls, cabbage and pork dishes I could get used to you pouring jasmine tea for me. Your Mandarin is good (impressive), whether you were bargaining for items, ordering dinner, or asking for directions - you took great care of us Thank you. Love, Mom
