Firstly, I would like to thank Kojo, obviously.

Please excuse the random lady to the left.

The hilarious organizer of this trip and teacher of our class (and still managing to survive), Kojo keeps his upbeat self with his duck voice and *sometimes* bad jokes. Throughout the trip he planned everything well and even let us enjoy our trip, despite all the work we had to finish. (He planned that too. -.-) This trip would definitely only be a dream if he hadn't made everything work out so well. =) The future kids that leave for China are lucky to have him arranging all this, to the delicious group dinners to the exciting surprises. And to think that he brought everyone back in one piece (or rather, twenty-five pieces). Whoo-hoo Kojo!


Then there's the lovely Posing Group chaperone, Amy!
Amy is easily the best group chaperone ever. Even though she's a grownup she doesn't let any fun escape our grasp. She makes even the scariest situations (example: running for the train) seem like little races or parties that we should enjoy rather than rush through, and she encourages us to take our time and breathe in China. Nothing is hopeless when she's around! I was allowed to use her laptop to write the blog entries when we were staying at Scholar's. Also, Amy takes many pictures--at least 100 each day! (Every picture i've used for my blog entries before this one are all taken by her.) And of course, like any mom, she loves to embarrass her kid. Heh heh. We couldn't wish for a better chaperone!

Self-explanitory? =)
The one on the far left is mine. ALL MINE MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
...
LiDa Middle School Students and StaffLiDa, even in a crucial testing time for all of their students, managed to house every single one of us and take good care of us. Everyone had a story to tell! They let us use and explore their beautiful and very spacious facility, and we made friends and learned more about Chinese culture than we thought we ever would have. I believe we all felt welcome and enjoyed our time in SuZhou.

And readers and commenters...THAT'S YOU!
Hehe! Last and anything but least, family and friends and anyone who cared. Especially you commenters, you made me encouraged to keep posting almost everyday, despite how often I complained about how tired I was and sometimes felt obligated. But knowing you guys all read and enjoy what I write, droopy eyelids and sleeping later don't matter at all. Some of you check daily and that makes me feel like everything is worth it. Who knows--with the words of support and excitement that you guys give me, maybe someday I could be a famous blogger or something, haha! Anyways you don't know how special each one of you makes me feel. =)

With that,
I now conclude my side of the CRR 2009 trip. Of course I will still check every so often for comments and stuff, but I don't think I'll need to post any more. (This makes me sad!) Maybe I'll look back on this years and years from now, and maybe you will too.
But most of all, I really hope that next year, for the CRR 2010 trip, that someone else will blog for the people in America, like I did, so I can see what happened to them when I was sleeping.
I look forward to reading a blog that is better than mine next year.

For now...

...because there's always room for more!
