Last summer I went to China, I stayed in Hongda summer school which was a couple hours away from Shanghai . I went with a couple of my friends and we had the craziest time. It was like being in a alternate reality, where everything was the same just slightly different. Whilst we were there we experienced fried ice cream, some weird powder which is possibly their version of cocaine, and about ten different ways to eat chicken. The weather was incredibly humid and I think I managed to lose half my weight just by perspiring. All in all it was a great experience, would highly recommend, even if it's just for the food, which was exquisite to the max.
