I took my own personal excursion to a nearby city. I spoke Chinese during the whole trip and made all the arrangements myself. Every single aspect was up to my discretion. Having only studied Mandarin for few months, but being able to make such a large step into the unknown was the most amazing feeling I've ever had.
