guestHey Corey! Thanks for sitnpopg by. Keep checking back over the next few months I'll be talking logistics before departure.This trip happened because I took a three-month trip a couple of summers ago and was hooked. My recommendation is not to wait until you feel comfortable the only way to get that is to just go for it. You could start smaller, though, a lot of people hit a month or two and start getting homesick. I'd go for just a month or three if you can swing it, and then plan from there.

guestHi Navjot, you have some really great tips in here! I also think it's important to have an open attitude towards the new culture and people you are going to meet. In this process it helps to know the language, as you have a way of communicating with the locals. A problem I've noticed is that in the stages of culture shock one ofthen starts complaining about China, and I mean having bad China day's in a row for a week or more. What would be your tips for bad China days? Sara http://www.sarajaaksola.com

guestWith his list of so-called 'suggestions' he should have added, "Become a communist" to finally fit into his Chinese holiday mantra.
