Our culture shock is buffered by the bus, the number of our group, and Dr. Chengyan Yue, who has taught us many words, including how to say "No, I don't want" to the street vendors. Jason and Jake however, have taken their Chinese to a new level since they will be on their own for a few days before they return to Minnesota. On the bus, Jason reviews his notes on counting and everyday language. At our site visits, the Chinese people are very impressed with Jason and Jake's attempts to communicate with them.
