China

My trip to China was an amazing experience. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and miss Shanghai loads! I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when going to China and still not quite sure of what to think of it now. But it was a very interesting and a new experience that I will never forget. Almost everything about Shanghai was different to London – the food, the people, the streets, the transport, everything! What I personally enjoyed and miss are the people I met and made friends with and the 4 star hotel! Whilst we were there each school was given a few guides to help them with there stay at Shanghai. Dunraven had the privilege of being appointed Ting Ting, Lucy and Amy. Ting Ting, Lucy and Amy were three of the nicest and most hospitable people I’ve ever met. They did everything for us and more! They answered all our questions, provided us with everything we needed from food to extra blankets! And on our departure after exchanging e-mails and lots of hugging, Ting Ting cried, summing up the strong friendship we had found in each other. I’d never really stayed in a 4star hotel before, and most certainly didn’t expect my first one to be a 4 star hotel in Shanghai! But it exceeded all the T.V and film expectations I had for an upmarket hotel. Starting with the revolving doors and the posh lobby with people in suits, a huge dining area serving one of the best breakfasts ever 4 gold lifts with over 20 floors! But none of this could beat the extremely cool phones that allowed you to call other rooms at the press of a button and the key cards you used to get inside your rooms! I have grown to love Shanghai despite its faults and would love to go back someday in the near future. Cheyanne Dawson 9RS
