  7. I would like to learn how Chinese people see the world, and what they think of everyone else. I would like to improve my Mandarin. I would like to learn some killer authentic Chinese dishes that I could cook for my amigos. I would also like to visit China. I would like to learn some secret Shaolin Kung Fu, most probably dian xue shu.

  10. With this trip, I want to step out of my comfort zone in order to fully experience things that I am not able to experience here. Therefore, I am totally looking forward to staying in the homes of Chinese people! Also, I'd like to build closer relationships with the people attending this trip.
