[00:00.00]When I started to 

[00:01.42]plan this adventure 

[00:03.06]I had only a vague idea 

[00:04.70]of what the country of

[00:06.56] China would be like. 

[00:07.87]I could recognize their flag  

[00:10.50]but was not even familiar 

[00:12.58]with their national anthem¹.

[00:14.33] My comprehension of the customs 

[00:17.50]of the country was very limited. 

[00:19.80]I felt  almost ashamed at

[00:23.41]how little I knew. 

[00:25.15]I did not know if 

[00:27.56]they used the metric or

[00:29.31] the imperial system of measurement. 

[00:31.17]Would I buy fluids 

[00:33.91]such as milk and soda 

[00:35.76]in quarts or litres?

[00:37.30] Would I need to learn the

[00:39.57]Chinese word for gram 

[00:41.75]or for inch? Indeed 

[00:43.62]I had never heard 

[00:45.26]the word ‘jin before.

[00:47.44]I knew little about the food 

[00:50.50]I would be eating. 

[00:52.04]Would dairy products such as 

[00:54.34]skim milk and cheese 

[00:55.76]and yoghurt be available? 

[00:58.06]Would I eat only rice 

[00:59.70]and noodles or would

[01:01.77]the variety of foods be endless? 

[01:03.85]Maybe I would be enjoying 

[01:06.26]a rack of lean pork ribs²

[01:08.23] as a delicious treat.

[01:09.98]I was unaware³ that 

[01:13.48]there were so many dialects

[01:15.78] in the Chinese language. 

[01:17.85]I had no idea 

[01:19.83]how I would communicate 

[01:21.58]but when I arrived in China, 

[01:23.33]I soon found myself having 

[01:24.97]a limited dialogue with Chinese people. 

[01:27.38]They would try to speak 

[01:30.65]a few words of English 

[01:32.08]and I would attempt 

[01:33.50]a few words in Chinese. 

[01:34.82]However, I resorted to 

[01:37.77]sign language more than words.

[01:40.07]How much I have learned!

[01:43.24] It has been a wonderful, 

[01:44.99]rewarding experience and

[01:47.07] the one comment that comes

[01:49.04]to my mind is 

[01:50.24]“I wouldn’t have 

[01:51.77]missed it for the world!”
