Beijing & Shanghai: A Tale of Two Very Different Cities |
 By Avil Beckford
Having never ventured outside of North America and the Caribbean, going to China
was a very bold step for me. But, sometimes being bold is just what a “ life doctor” would order to shake up your life and force you to step out of your comfort zone.
My niece Camile and I made an agreement that each year, together, we would travel to somewhere that we’ve never been before, and this year was China
. We signed up for the 4-Day
Beijing Tour Package organized by Tour East Holidays, the recommended Travel Agency for the International Trip.
Being in
Beijing reminded me of how much I take for granted. A normally simple task such as ordering in a restaurant became a major event because we did not speak the language. I felt  like a “fish out of water.” Later that night while lying on my bed in the hotel room, I was reminded of what it feels like to not be included, and I suddenly truly appreciated The International Alliance for Women for organizing the International Trips, which help to foster cultural harmony by exposing us to many different cultures.
