yes, reach there soon.

Yes. Can enjoy home cooking and warm welcoming from local Chinese.

Yes, Ally, I'm coming to your house! :D

sorry for all the typos!!!

I tried a "homestay" in Mudanjiang. The woman turned out to be a divorce woman, turned lesbian, and the father has custody of their only son. I was suppose to stay with her for 3 months but I'm began fearful of her and left her apartment while she was at work. I didn't know what do do so I make a phone call to a local school that taught English and they gave me an apartment for 10 days. A foriegn teacher was coming and that was her apartment so they let me stay there while it was empty for 10 days, by then I was able to book a ticket back home!!! It was THE worst experience of my life. I didn't know any Chinese and I relied on her to be a good host. I was so wrong!!!! The only way I would go to China is through a school to learn Chinese and have my own dorm room and be around people I can trust 100%. If I become fluent with you Ally then I would love to visit one day, but only when I become fluent in Chinese.
