Jet lag is ceasing, so it must be time to get on with our journey! The study tour participants had dinner together last night. With a brief lesson on Chinese etiquette and practice being served as if at a banquet (which we'll experience every other night - once in each city), we're ready to begin.
Our group consists of 26 people (17 men, 9 women). The Executice Director and the Director of Education for our association, ACUHO-I, are with us. And there are three business people associated with our field who are participating (an architect, a furniture manufacturer, and a private housing developer). The rest of us are directors of housing at schools throughout the U.S., Australia, Scotland, and England.
We board a bus early this morning, then take a train to Guangzhou (pronounced Gwan-jo). We'll have an afternoon of sightseeing, and a dinner cruise on the Pearl River.
By the way, I finally managed to get some photos posted, so hope you enjoy!
