This is a webpage dedicated to my travels to China with the 7th China Synergy Program. Though most of the photos are of the sights we saw, I think most of us that were there can agree that this trip was not as much about sight-seeing as it was about synergy--defn: cooperative interaction among groups that creates an enhanced combined effect. It was definitely an experience I didn't expect. Though I am used to traveling alone and being independent, here I was encompassed and enlightened by the friends and spirit that was CSP7. In addition to the sights, we bonded over meeting some of China's highest government officials; while listening to seminars on Chinese culture, history and China's developing economy and cities; and most memorably, through singing and eating. Though we moaned and groaned over the waiting and perspired through some of the lectures that weren't always that exciting, we all went through it together and felt sad to see it all go in the end. Thanks to CSP for making it possible for me to see China, and to all the friends that I made during those two and a half weeks. I will definitely miss everyone!
