Im going to China on a missions trip with my church next summer. We're going openly as a christian group. So if you hear on the news about a group of people arrested by the Chinese government... find a list, and if there's a "Ben Cronin" on that list, you'll all know I'm famous!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Texas Ben [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Casey So, Ben, here's my question: how long are you going to be in China for? And how much is it going to cost? ...Better start playing Splinter Cell. A lot. ;)[/quote] A month. $6000 I hate the chinese splinter cell people. Those jerks kill me real fast. [/quote] $6000 for only a month?! Wow...that's expensive. By contrast, Mormon missions are about $10,000, but they're also over the space of two years, so they're significantly cheaper. Yeah, those Chinese guys were a pain...especially in those levels where you coudln't kill 'em.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Yan Yin Why is the world so full of ignorant people? Oh yeah, it's George Bush's fault...[/quote] Pfft. Now who's the ignorant moron? On topic: I would love to go to China- not necessarily to preach the word (if that is your true intent), but just to see the country. Although $6000 is little stiff for me at this point. I think I'll just wait for your report when you come back and then make my assessment.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] roguespartan_160 theyll problably kill you before arresting you[/quote] They'd likely just do the killing. Arresting after would be moot. [Edited on 9/7/2005]

Honestly, China isn't so bad if you're just your Average Jo over their touring, or doing buisness. Coming up on 4 years ago in a quick few months, I went over to China with Mumsy because the company she works for had the demand for their product skyrocket, so they had to outsource the sewing and stiching to China (I know, I know --- shame on us. Those are AMERICAN jobs! Yeah well, no one would do them). When we went their all it really is is strict inspection coming in and going out. You can take pictures of whatever you'd like really. It certainly is no North Korea. But seeings as Mum went on business, and I was just a wee little 14 year old tag-along... we weren't much of anything, so I wouldn't know how they'd deal with you trying to spread the teachings of peace, prosperity and love --- who knows. Are you heading to the rural towns or the industrialized cities? We headed to the city, and really it wasn't much different then here. Alot of people spoke English as they were businessmen. The towns might be tricky, language-wise, though I wouldn't know for sure. Anyways, have a wild time. Just don't fly your spy plane in Chinese air space then crash it into a MIG fighter jet. They don't fancy that. [Edited on 9/6/2005]
