Question

hi, my son is flying to Nanjing from Washington DC in two weeks ALONE!!! He is 19, he is studying mandarin in college, so he decided to take this trip . He made friends with a girl on Facebook so she is supposed to meet him there, but I am still worried to death. Is there high crime areas he shouldn't go to? What about the crime level?  His Chinese language is pretty weak so far, will he be able to find people speaking English, like in Europe? What about the phone system, as far I understand he will have to rent or buy one in China?  Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I am really really worried. And he has to switch planes in Beijing too.((((((((((((

Welcome to china I am an 19 years old Chinese girl and I live in Nanjing.All the students in China have to learn some English.Sometimes we do make mistakes (grammar is so hard for me)but we can express our feelings in English and some can communicate with a foreigner in fluent English.We are especially good at American English better than some European I think.Because a few days ago I talked with an European and his English is not as good as mine.Usually we feel really happy to see foreigners come to NJ.There are a lot of foreign students here.Don't worry about the crime level it's safe to be here,especially in universities.About the phone ,it's easy to buy one ,the price of the phone is low.The quality of life here is also high.If you have any other questions you can write them down here or send me an E-mail.I can image what my father will feel if I want to go to the other side of the earth alone.
