Last spring, Della and I accepted an invitaion from the Hood College Alumnae Office to travel to China with Collette Tours in September of 1999. We were part of a group of twenty-eight people, seventeen of whom signed up through Hood. Click on the thumbnail picture to the right for a look at our group.
Jane Marshall was our Collette tour director and travelled with us for the whole tour. In each city we, also, had a local tour guide from the China International Travel Service, CITS. CITS is a Chinese government organization and, to some extent, they showed us what they wanted us to see. Nevertheless, I think that were given a fairly representative look at the China of today while we toured the antiquities. Della and I found the Chinese people we interacted with to be friendly If there is any hostility, I think it is primarily lodged in the government and our different ideas about Taiwan.
I would appreciate comments, corrections or additional information from my fellow travellers or our tour guides. Please email your comments to [email protected].
