Lectures, performances, and fieldwork will be conducted in Kunming during the first week of the program after which several minority communities in Zhongdian, Lijiang, and Dali in NW Yunnan will be visited. During the third week the group will visit Qin Shi Huang's Terracotta Army in Xian, the Great Wall, and the Forbidden City in Beijing. Comprehensive fee including airfare, double room, meals, visits, taxes, and tips is $ 2600. Optional graduate or undergraduate credit is available through Bloomsburg University's Languages and Cultures department. Details of the program are avaiable from Dr. James C.

In fact, it's only type of pre-arranged travel that I personally would want to go for. If it's a good one, you have experts at your beck and call, with interesting stories and information, and lectures during the trip. The Canadian Institute of International Affairs and the Royal Ontario Museum both have such trips for members (most are quite pricey, mind you, but mostly because they typically assume that the participants are rich old people who want luxury accomodation).

(Besides violating usenet etiquette > for advertising.) Nothing if the participants are informed of this fact. Peter L. has a good point about etiquette. Sorry if this offends. There is a fine line between announcing and advertising. Since actual travel companies post here I thought it might be ok. We definitely are not a travel company but a couple of profs trying to offer students of all ages an unusual experience. Of course costs are covered but there is absolutely no salary or profit involved. As for older persons looking for plush accommodations, we'd have to double the price and it wouldn't be nearly as much fun nor as memorable.
