    I believe they’re still going, but if you’re interested I would get in touch with Larry at Natooke ASAP. The number for their shop is 028-8504-2450

    1000 for meals? Is anybody going?

    1,000 for cash, just in case. You’ll have to try hard to spend 1,000 yuan on meals on a 3-day trip to Western Sichuan.

    Expats can get quite a lot of perks in China, especially in this region. I’m not sure what the exact reason is here, but Larry probably knows. You can contact him at the Natooke shop with the number listed above.

    …maybe to overcharge Chinese students with the promise of practicing their English….sounds like a blast. Nothing is free. If you don’t mind answering mind numbing questions while viewing beautiful scenery from a bus it’s a go!
