Friday November 7th- 2nd day Hong Kong/Beijing I put together a group of 19 students and organized a camping trip on the great wall. We are flying out of Shenzhen airport on the China mainland because flying out of Hong Kong was technically an international flight and therefore more expensive. There are a few ways to get to Shenzhen but we decided to take the train to the end of the line entering China and then take a shuttle to the airport. ...

We had heard from one of our friends, Raphael, that they just hired a cab driver to go so that was our plan. I actually talked to a guy yesterday who followed us around the first day and he said he would meet us at the Rex hotel where the shuttle dropped us off and he would take...
