in my opinion,the purpose of travelling is mainly about what you learn along the journey.as is known to us that learning something has two methods in a whole,one of which is absorbing knowledge from books,whose adverseness can be compensated by a travel.from a tour,we can get to know lots of what't cannot be picked up unless experience it all by ourselves.when we are back to the position we are undertaking ,things have changed,that all seemed common take on a new prospect.that's what i prefer to get fronm a travel.

If I would go to China I would go to visit my brother. If it comes to volunteering jobs. Here it's only possible if you pay for it! And it's not even cheap. I think if so I would go work with children, probably with aids or so or teach in a school.

I like to vist museums. it's something different from my country, because we have a lot of bars here in my country. I'm really curious in the history, tradition and culture of a country, that's why I usually go to museums. I wish I could visit your place so you could show me first hand the things China to be proud of. Peace and thank you

If I work as a volunteer it would be as an English teacher for children in a village in China. It would be a small village and I would teach all of the young children how to speak English. I would tell the children about my home country. I would be keen to learn about the history of that part of China visit the nearby city at the weekends for some shopping. I would do some sightseeing in Beijing before I start that volunteer position.

I have worked abroad in the past and I would love to love it again. If I was going to volunteer in China I would choose a job where I was able to work with people for instance an orphanage or a nursing home. I would also be interested in working with people with special needs like I have done in the past. Before I left my own country I would take a course in order to learn (some of) the Chinese language. In addition to my voluntary work I would travel around in China and visit many different places. I have never been to China so I would visit Beijing, Shanghai and some of the many other interesting and beautiful places in China. I am very interested in art and architechture and I would like to visit galleries and museums and I would also visit some of the place with beautiful scenery and take many pictures. I would like to see some of the local festivals and I would like to meet the locals as much as possible, chat with them and spend time with them.
