In two days, your sons will be on the plane to China. First of all, on behalf of my entire family, I would like to thank you for letting your sons to come here to China. I understand that when they are in college, you don't get to see them that often, and letting them leave home for 21 days must be a sacrifice for you. Thank you again!
Let me know show you the big picture of this trip I have arranged for them. First comes first, my dad and I will be picking them up at the Shanghai airport at 7:30 pm June 26th (6:30am June 26th EST). Then we drive back to Nanjing (my home). It is going to be approximately an 3-hour-drive. So they will probably be home at around 11:30 pm. I didn't arrange much for that night, since the boys must be tired after the long plane ride. Therefore, the boys will go to bed after settling down, and try to adjust to the time difference.
The next day, the boys will have a nice sleep in, relax. We will prbably go to my aunt and uncle's house that afternoon to relax. That night, my family will have a big welcome banquet for them. Lots of family will be there: me, my parents, my cousin, aunt and uncle, both pairs of grandparents, etc.
The day after, I will take the boys to some places of interests in my city.
After that, we will set off for Xi'an. It is one of the four historic cities in the world. We are going to see the terra cotta warrior (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
After Xi'an, we will fly to the nation's capital: Beijing. We will probably stay for couple days, since there's a lot fo see in Beijing. I will take the boys to see the forbidden city (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
After Beijing, we will fly back to Nanjing, rest for one or two days.
The next place will be Shanghai, which is 2 hour bullet trainride away. I will take them to the World Expo. We will probably stay there for 2 to 3 days.
Out next big route is Yunnan provice. Yunnan province is in the southwest of China. My dad will take us to this one reserve where there are different minority groups. We will stay with the local natives as well. I would like to show the boys the most original way of living of the people.
After that, we will be back to Nanjing, probably go to some near cities or just hanging out in Nanjing, depend on the schedule.
The boys will stay in China for 21 days, therefore, I would like to make the most of the 21 days and show them different sides of China, different ways of lives, and show them something they've never seen before.
Will the boys be able to stay in touch with you? Of course! I have this calling card that the boys will be able to call you. In fact, after I pick the boys up, on the way home, I will make them call you just to let you know they are safe and sound :)
Again, my entire family are very very happy that the boys are coming. They have heard a lot about them and they are eagle to see them. We will try our best to make them feel at home and make it an enjoyable trip and unforgettable experience for them.
Sincerely,
Max Zhang
