I will learn phrases in chinese and be ready to have tons of fun.
ReplyDelete1. Try to eat various kinds of chinese foods to get used to the food. If you have never eaten chinese food before, start now so you don't get "culinary culture shock"
ReplyDelete2. If possible, learn a few basic phrases in Mandarin like "Hello", "Thank You", and "Nice to meet you"
3. Learn some facts about the places we will go to on the trip
4. Finally, try to experiment with being a tourist by going on a day trip in a large town the you don't go to normally. It gives a good feel for what it's like to be in a new city.
I will review some Mandarin, and eat AUTHENTIC Chinese food, which is hard to find. I will learn about the culture, so as not to get stuck in super awkward situations, and so I don't get lost and suddenly find myself in Nepal. I will pack. I will possibly get a haircut. I will hope for a rad prize.
ReplyDeleteI like what I have read so far, keep them coming:)
ReplyDeleteWell I'm definitely going to learn some helpful chinese languages, learn some stuff about the places were going and the monuments were visting (like the Great Wall), and hopefully.....learn how to bargain. I'm horrible at that.
ReplyDeleteI got a Mandarin phrases and culture book from a relative, so I'm going to use that to help me learn a few helpful phrases.
ReplyDeletei will practice my chopstick skills, and I will learn useful and helpful phrases in Mandarin for the trip.
ReplyDeleteI will maybe learn some simple chinese phrases, learn how to use chopsticks a bit better, learn about where we are going in China, and maybe spend some extra time hanging out with the people going on the trip so i can get to know them a bit better!
ReplyDeletei will learn some basic chinese ans learn more about the culture.
ReplyDeleteI will hire my 7 year old sister as a private chinese instructor so I can learn important phrases like: I am hungry, where is the bathroom, and may I have an order of pot stickers.
