In the fall, Professor Sweet taught a class endearingly called Internet Content Marketing. In this course, students learned the importance of tailoring content to particular audiences in order to make a profit or showcase credibility. Towards the end of the semester, Professor Sweet asked the students to put their lessons into practice and write articles for this blog. As the editor of this site, I had the awesome opportunity to read all of these articles and choose the ones that I thought our readers would find most interesting. This particular piece is by David Cheung, he describes his trip to China for class credit. Enjoy!<\/h3>\n

This past summer\u00a0I had the amazing opportunity to go to China for class credit.\u00a0We got to go to the cities of Shanghai, Suzhou, Nanjing, Xian, and Beijing.\u00a0This trip was led by Dr. Hogsette and Dr. Ayers, who could not have been better chaperones. Also, nine other Grove City students\u00a0were part of the trip.\u00a0Almost all of the students took the\u00a0Civ\u00a0Lit Class that could be completed on the trip. My friend Gabe and I were the only students\u00a0who\u00a0chose the other option, a Chinese Culture class. This was due to Gabe and I being Chinese minors. We left for China May 21st\u00a0and returned on June 2nd, so we spent a total of about 10 days,\u00a0spending two days in each city.<\/p>\n

Despite my high opinion of the trip, it ironically started out very poorly. This was not a failure on the College\u2019s part or the professors. In fact, it was completely my fault that the\u00a0trip had such a\u00a0difficult start. It was early in the morning\u00a0on May 21st.\u00a0I was on my way to Pittsburgh to fly out from the airport there with the rest of the group. Once I arrived with all my luggage and met up with my fellow students,\u00a0I reached into my pocket to get my passport. That is when my heart rate shot through the roof,\u00a0because I realized I\u00a0had\u00a0forgotten\u00a0my passport\u00a0and visa!\u00a0Turns out, I left it at my house which was two\u00a0hours\u00a0away.\u00a0The speed with which I sprinted to my car could have shattered any sprinting record in PA. I was able to get ahold of my uncle\u00a0who went to my house,\u00a0grabbed my passport,\u00a0and met me halfway\u00a0back to my house.\u00a0At this\u00a0point the time was around 6 a.m. and my flight was scheduled to leave at 7 a.m. I reached the airport at about 6:50 a.m., turning an hour drive into a 50-minute one. At the airport, everything was\u00a0a\u00a0blur. I remember everyone in the line for screening,\u00a0allowing me to cut past them in order to make my flight,\u00a0and sprinting down the long corridor leading to all the different flights. Of course, my flight\u00a0was one of the farthest possible,\u00a0which made me completely out of breath\u00a0when I reached the front desk.\u00a0The man giving me my luggage tag and scanning my ticket seemed a bit irritated at how close I cut it. I checked my phone for the time which was 6:58 a.m. Once on the plane, everyone clapped and I sank into my seat with\u00a0both\u00a0embarrassment and relief.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, this was the worst part of the trip by a very large margin.\u00a0After enduring a 14-hour flight, we\u00a0reached our first destination, the city of Shanghai.\u00a0The sites we got to see were beautiful. The Jade temple we visited was a famous Buddhist temple and people were constantly walking around praying to these statues that are set up all over the place. Particularly the white jade Buddha is the one that is famous. They hold it in such high regard that no pictures are allowed to be taken of it. It was a little off\u00a0putting,\u00a0being a Christian inside\u00a0a\u00a0temple dedicated to the worship of these statues,\u00a0and with monks chanting all over the place.\u00a0I was\u00a0intrigued by\u00a0how much the Chinese people hope in and have reverence for these Buddhas.\u00a0It showed a lot of us on the trip how blind we are to the world outside the US,\u00a0and even just outside of our little college. The experience was a powerful one,\u00a0and we gained insight into the cultural values of China. We\u00a0also\u00a0visited other more typical tourist destinations in China, such as the Great Wall. This vast and seemingly unending wall was beautiful on the mountainous landscape of eastern China.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a tiring, but rewarding\u00a0climb up the large steps to get to\u00a0the higher points of the wall.\u00a0We also saw the world famous Terra Cotta Warriors museum,\u00a0which had many different statues who were buried in the giant Tomb of Emperor Qin.\u00a0Our tour guide told us that they protect the Emperor in the after-life.\u00a0The Emperor believed that every clay item that was buried with him would go with him to heaven,\u00a0so there were clay animals, bowls, pots, servants, and many other things.<\/p>\n

Even though these sights were very grand and beautiful, my personal favorite place we visited was the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We were able to talk to Chinese college students that were our age. It was so cool to compare our experiences with theirs. They would attempt to\u00a0practice their\u00a0English with us,\u00a0and we would do the same with Chinese. They had many different demonstrations ready,\u00a0to show us their medical practices and beliefs. They placed a high importance on using herbs to heal illness rather than turning to medication. Also, they view the body as all being connected through energy pathways. This energy is called \u201cchi.\u201d It is easy to disregard this idea, but there has been some amazing feats performed by the Chinese people as a result of this concept. We also got to see their beautiful garden that they grow all their herbs in. It was breathtaking when w\"\"<\/a>e\u00a0laid eyes on it.<\/p>\n

A professor from the college led us through the garden describing all the plants as we continued along.\u00a0When\u00a0the time came to say good-bye to everyone at the university, they gave us all gifts to take back with us. They were such gracious hosts,\u00a0and a lot of us quickly became friends and exchanged numbers. I kept in contact with them for a while after the trip and I now have lots of friends to practice my Chinese with.<\/p>\n

Everywhere we went, our\u00a0meals were all so delicious. No matter where our location,\u00a0there were always vegetables cooked perfectly with a dark sauce of some sort, many kinds\u00a0of\u00a0chicken dishes, and of course endless amounts of tea. Also, all meals required us to eat with chopsticks,\u00a0and to eat \u201cfamily-style.\u201d This means that all of the food is in the center of the table,\u00a0and people grab small portions of it at a time to put on their individual plates. This is very different from in the US where we all get our own dish. I personally loved \u201cfamily-style\u201d eating\u00a0because it allowed me to try\u00a0everything. There are also a lot of very unusual dishes we ate while in China.\u00a0A few such foods were jellyfish, sea slugs, sea cucumbers, and cow stomach. Some of these dishes were \"\"<\/a>completely different from what you would expect, such as the jellyfish being crunchy. On the other hand, some were exactly what was expected like the sea slugs have a slimy texture. Most of these dishes I thoroughly enjoyed (with the exception of the jellyfish) and am so glad that I was able to try this cuisine.\u00a0I was hesitant to eat all of this crazy food at first, but by the end,\u00a0I was eating duck eyes and not thinking twice about it.\u00a0The fact we all got to try these new things together helped all of us students get closer as we\u00a0marveled\u00a0at these unique foods. Furthermore, the Chinese culture also believes in long meals that you leave only when you cannot take another bite. This made it so we spent a lot of time getting to know each other within the group.<\/p>\n

Everyone in the group really got along\u00a0well with each other. There was not a single person that I had any complaints about on this trip.\u00a0Each person was included, no matter what we did. I largely contribute it to the fact\u00a0that\u00a0we all had to watch out for each other when we had free time,\u00a0because we did not have a tour guide to take care of us. None of us were fluent\"\"\u00a0in Chinese which made it very difficult and dangerous to be alone. However, as a result,\u00a0everyone got to know each other very well. The friendships we formed continued\u00a0even when we returned\u00a0back to the States. We still try to grab\u00a0a\u00a0lunch as group every once in a while,\u00a0and we have an ongoing group chat.\u00a0I became closer with everyone on\u00a0this trip, but much more so with the two other men that went.\u00a0There were only three male students\u00a0on this trip: Travis, Gabe, and myself.\u00a0I was acquainted with these guys before the trip, but did not know them all that well. Gaining all these new experiences together really bonded us. We had to experience jet-lag together, eat all our meals together, sleep in the same room, shop with each other, and hangout during our free time. Every night we would re-hash everything that happened and talk about how excited we were for the next day. Nothing was ever boring with these guys,\u00a0and yet I always felt relaxed around them as well. Us three still get tea together every week and are even better friends since the trip. Without going on this trip, I would have never had the great opportunity of getting to know these\u00a0individuals.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I highly recommend the trip for anyone. There were so many benefits to going. I completed a class, got exposure to a different culture, got to know professors, tried new foods, and formed so many amazing friendships. I had been to China two other times prior to this Intersession trip. They do not compare to t<\/span><\/span>he experience I had<\/span><\/span>\u00a0while in China with this group. I doubt I will ever have quite the same experience again, unless I go on another trip with Grove City. If you are able to go, do not miss out on this opportunity. In looking back at it,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I know it was no doubt worth every penny.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
