Diary One:
Hello, my name is Mark McCulloch, I am 17 years old. I live with my mum, dad and my sister who is 12. I attend Grange Academy which is in east Ayrshire in Kilmamock. I am from the southwest of Scotland. When I was first told I was going to china I thought they were joking. I knew very little about china except it was huge! When I arrived I was really amazed at how many people there were on the road and just how big china is. I hope that I can continue learning the language when I return home and I think the people are so friendly! This is a dream come true!

Diary Two:
My name is Laura Black. I am 16 years old and I attend Grange Academy in Kilmamock Scotland. I live with my mum and dad and my brother, Darren, who is 13. In my spare time I enjoy singing, dancing, drama and playing the piano.
When I first learned that I was coming to china I was in total shock as I could not believe it was true! Before hearing of this trip I did not know that Kunming existed, and my knowledge of china was very limited. I am very excited to be here to learn Mandarin and to learn about Chinese culture. I am also looking forward to meeting new people and making new friends.
