Our China Trip adventure has brought us
to Chongqing, adjacent to Sichuan province and which everyone says is one of the
largest municipalities in China. After our two hour plane ride to Chongqing, we went to
retrieve our luggage. As soon as we approached the exit gate, we were greeted by our
sweet partners. They had signs that read "Welcome Widener University Students to
Chongqing!" We took about one and a half hour drive by bus to Chongqing
Technology and Business University. bOn the bus ride to the university, the
Chongqing students introduced themselves to us and we did the same to them. It was so lovely to meet such a friendly and sweet group of partners. As we approached the campus, I thought the university would be somewhere away
from the city. Our partners took us to our rooms and showed us where the bathroom and kitchen were. My room was on the seventh floor so it was stressful walk upstairs to my room. My partner's name is Jerry, a CTBU freshman. He was so generous to lend me a cell phone that he doesn’t use anymore so that I
didn’t have to buy a phone or a sim card. Afterward, Taylor, Tyler, Christie,
Julianna, Katie, Carly, Ronnie, Mohammed, and I were taken by our partners to buy phones since most of us didn’t get a phone yet.
It was kind of a hike to walk up the street. Then, we took a group picture with
our partners. They took us out to eat to some type of fast food that really wasn’t
that good because they didn’t plan anything for us. But they were sweet to direct
us to the supermarket to get other things for our rooms.
