Some people say summer is a great time for gaining experience that we could not have in a classroom setting otherwise. With this in mind, I went to Sichuan, China for a 2-week teaching tour together with 9 college students from a diverse background, with the hope of creating an impact on local students who were severely affected by the earthquake. The students' curiosity to learn and their friendliness soon broke the cultural barrier between us, and such a close encounter is what makes this trip an amazing lifetime experience.

It's naive to expect [China] to just follow U.S. policy just because it's a friend. I think we need to see things very much more from the Chinese point of view, an evolving point of view.
