MintWasted 270 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 So I have the chance to go to China to live with my grandparents for a few months this Spring. This is my first time going and I'm pretty excited. Should I go for 2 or 3 months? I was thinking 3 months but I only found a renter for my room for 2. Am I going to get bored after 2 months? Would 2 months be enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abra 40,910 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Where are you going? If it's on the country side I doubt you'd want to be there more than 2 months. Do you know anyone there except your family? Do you know the local dilect/language? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it's the countryside and I don't know anyone and my language skills are pretty bad because I've been raised in the US my whole life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight 643 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Depends on how well you could adjust tbh If I was an american-chinese, I guess 3 months is nice. Immerse myself and see the different temples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponyo 235 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm missing school to go, so that's not an issue Missing school for 2-3 months? Omg, what lenient school district do you go too? #lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintWasted 270 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'd say 2 months then. Hmm... I am leaning towards this at the moment I'd want to stay for 3 months tbh. Me too, but I don't know how I'm going to feel once I've actually been there for a while Missing school for 2-3 months? Omg, what lenient school district do you go too? #lucky I'm in college so it's not as hard to arrange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MintWasted 270 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 If you want to inhale some nasty pollution then go ahead. I'm going to a more rural area away from Beijing and Shanghai so there is no pollution there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edna Mode 8 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Listen it all depends on how much you want to spend what sort of tickets you have. if you have flexible tickets then you can change your flight date anytime you feel like you've had enough (there's a fee of course but it varies) So go there, book it for 3 months, feel it out, if you see yourself staying longer stay, if not then call the airlines and tell them to change your flight date.

CALICO CAT 8,999 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 2 months is already a pretty long period of time though (but considering it's your first time going and it might be a rare chance, it's good enough) I usually go to my parent's country (they used to live on the country side too) every year because it's near but I get bored pretty quickly. If it wasn't for my cousins and visiting the big cities a few times I wouldn't be able to stay there for one week but that's just my experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
