* We decided to go to Nanjing for a day since it was really close to
Shanghai. We each paid an extra 100 dollars which was taken out of our
food money. There is an extra two weeks for you to travel and explore
China. Some of us went to Xian, Three Gorges, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong.
Others spent time with family. |
