[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, because of the language barrier. [/quote] I wouldn't rule it out because of the language, but this is a good point I am surprised no one has brought up. Some questions: 1. Does your son speak Chinese? 2. Does the family that they will be visiting with speak any English? If no, is your son okay with lots and lots of time spent with people who don't speak the same language as him and thus, he will not be able to understand/participate in the conversation? I studied abroad in China for 4 months and had a Mandarin minor, so four years of high school + 3 semesters of college Mandarin classes and even that was a bit of a struggle adjusting to the language. Going away from home for a month at 13 I think would be difficult for most kids, to a place where you understand none of the language? Forget about it. [/quote]
