Out of this world

The classes are easy, but what can you say? It is summer school. I would recommend people not to take the Chinese course even if you don't know one lick of Chinese. I suggest you just buy a translator and walk around talking to the people. The food and shopping is amazing and cheap. If you get the chance, you should ride the high speed train to Shanghai. Just for the experience.
