Back in the United States - January 16

This is the last blog entry for the 2010 ILSSO trip to China.

After a very long day of flights, we are all back in the United States of America and glad to be home!

Our last morning in China was spent packing which was a challenge for many due to all the shopping we did on the trip. We rode the Magnev train to the airport, most people have heard this referred to as a "bullet train". The train operates off of Electromagnetic levitation and goes 430 km per hour which is approximately 267 mph. The ride was a lot of fun; a normal 30-45 minute bus ride to the airport only took us 7 minutes.

I am very thankful to have gotten to know each of the participants on our trip; they were a great group. We had an experience of a lifetime.

Thank you for reading our blog.
