(note: this is one of my pre-scheduled posts set to appear at 5:00am EST each morning I am in a port city. I will post follow-up information about each trip once I am able to get back on the computer.)
This is the trip I will be going on today...
Home Visit and German Heritage (Time: 0830 - 1200)
(This is one of the "faculty directed practica" that I am leading so the cost of this trip is free for me.)
Description:
Very rarely do overseas travelers have the opportunity to meet local people in their homes, but today you will receive a gracious and hospitable welcome at a private family dwelling. From the pier, proceed to the residential area where your host family eagerly awaits your arrival. After welcoming you into their home, they will share with you details about their community and treat you to refreshments of tea, candies and cookies. Shortly thereafter, make your way through charming Badaguan as you head to the old German Quarter. On arrival, delight in architecture reminiscent of southern Germany. Found to be particularly noteworthy is the German-built St. Michael's Cathedral, one of China's most famous churches. Your last stop will be the Free Market, where locals sell agricultural and aquatic products, as well as other daily necessities. (PRICE: $26.00)
