Hi,
I would like to spend my winter vacation time in a "winter camp", hopefully taking place in one of China's hot spot (e.g. Hainan, Kunming, Guilin, Nanjing etc.) to have a nice combination of business with pleasure for some weeks.
So, does someone know about a winter camp in Jan/Feb 2005?? Also, I would like to hear your experience if you have already done that - is it worthwhile to do, and are there any schools which can be recommended?
Thanks a lot,
Ralf

WTF is a winter camp?
Is that like a gulag?

I just got a few offers for some in harbin out of all places.... I had never heard of a winter camp before but I am guessing that they are similar in essence to summer camps: spend an awful amount of hours taking care of little brats but it pays pretty well.

I saw a few of them listed over at www.thatsbeijing.com

I've only been in Nanjing in December, but I wouldn't call it hot then. I assume your talking about the weather. Don't get it confused with Nanning. I haven't been to Nanning, but it's a lot further south.

If anyone hears about a winter camp in Chongqing or Chengdu (or other towns in Sichuan not too far from Chengdu) I would sincerely appreciate being told. Very Happy
