Re: Recent experience traveling China

[Steve Terry <terrys () DENISON EDU>]

Emily:

Have you spoken with any of your Chinese students on how they handle these
situation when they return home for summer breaks?  (I have personally
received terrific insights from our Chinese-based students on the various
"tips" that they use when they return home.  As you can well imagine, some
regions of China handle access issues differently than others.  Find the
right student to help advise those who will travel to China.)

Cheers!
