3 quarters of Mandarin language
10 weeks of class preparation
4 ish draft research proposals
1 summer of anticipation
$6,000 in UW tuition
1 People’s Republic of China Visa
1 one-way economy class plane ticket
16+ hours of international flights later
Chengdu, Sichuan Province, People’s Republic of China will be the new home of 14 of the University of Washington’s brightest, and perhaps most foolish, for the next 10 months. Will we triumph over the Sichuan chili pepper and successfully manage our way through China’s 5th largest city? Or will we end up in precarious and embarrassing situations? I’m betting on the later but I guess we will just have to find out.
The travel begins in August but the journey and awkwardness begin now.
