Hello from China

We are finally here!
After around 32 hours of traveling we got here safely. The flight from Dubai to Shanghai was delayed by about 1 and a half hours.
We are all with our host families now, who are all very kind and welcoming. Started in the school in Jin Hua today, everyone is very tired and trying the food.
We are just about to carry out the maths survey. The experiences we have had so far are amazing! The fact that we also did drill with the 2000 other students this morning and did it correctly was an experience in itself.

Everyone over here is fascinated by our different culture, especially the males with long hair and the females with blonde hair.

Must go now to do the maths project.

Update next time when possible.
