Surprise in Shanghai

My daughter has been on the road in China with her Mandarin teacher, another parent chaperone, and 18 other students for the last three weeks. I've been recording their adventures on the blog Tigers on the Road for our families and friends, posting the pictures and reports sent back by Mr Yu using his iPad. In just a few days they will return with countless stories, pictures, souvenirs and life-changing memories.

A surprise was waiting in their hotel: Blas and a colleague were awarded a grant to do field work in Mongolia, so he had to travel to China for a week for the planning. He secretly arranged with Mr. Yu to surprise Miss R. by taking a room in the same hotel. Apparently there is film  of their reunion, which I hope to see on their return.

They have been able to spend a day together wandering the streets of Shanghai with a friend. Priceless!
