I have a teacher friend who would like to take 40 of her students to Taishan in June. They will probably not climb the mountain itself but she wants them to feel inspired enough to write poetry whilst there. Now her question is, because I have not been there since 1998 and do not know what changes have occurred, but is there a seating area of some sort, or at least an open area where all forty students can sit and write at either the foot of the mountain or a short way up?

Thankyou very much in advance!

Hi members,
On the 30th of April, i'll be in Qingdao to pick up a friend from the airport.I've lived in Jiaozhou,near to Qingdao just for some weeks now and know little about shandong. In addition i'm a foreigner too hence understand chinese sparsely.
1)Is it a long distance from the bus station to the airport?
2)which bus number do i take from the bus station to the airport? I don't wanna go by cab because cab-drivers all over the world like exploiting foreigners.
3)Hope there is just one bus station and airport in Qingdao.
I'll appreciate your guidance.
Theo.

Hi,
I am considering going to a Chinese language school in Yantai in the Shandong province. The website of the school is
http://www.sinoculture.com/learnchinese/

Has anyone heard of this school? Have you heard any news, good or bad, about the teaching in this school? Do you know much about Yantai? Would it be a nice place to live for 3-4 months?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you very much,
- john

p.s. Any advice about other Mandarin-language schools in China would also be appreciated.
thanks,
- john
