Q is for QUESTIONS

 is for QUESTIONS

My trip to China was full of questions. Here goes:

Air and Water Quality:

• Will I need a face mask?
• Will I be able to breathe?
• Will I return home with an inoperable disease based on the water I drink or the air I breathe

Clothing:

• Will I be too hot in what I brought to wear and/or perform in?
• Will I be too cold?
• Will I have enough?
• Will I have too much?
• Will my suitcase be too big or small?

Language:

• How can I communicate with the Chinese people?
• Do I need to know the Chinese word for "help!"?

Transportation:

• How do we travel across the city?
• Will the transportation (i.e. busses, trains, planes, subway, cabs) be dirty?
• Will I be able to read the maps?

Gifts:

• Do I need to bring people gifts?
• Why?
• What is the exchange rate?

What I did not wonder about is interesting...

I did not wonder about 

• having a good time
• enjoying performing in China
• making the stories make sense in China
• eating great food
• enjoying my time with my leader Sonia.

And of course, all my questions were answered. I am alive and well, and had a great time eating good food around good people.
