Liz was excited. She was going to Asia with her mom. Neither of them had ever travelled out of the United States before. They were going to fly to Hong Kong. After staying in Hong Kong for three nights, they would travel to Shanghai and Beijing.
"Beijing is inland. It's far away from the sea, so we have to take about a two-hour bus ride to get there from the port. I forget the name of the port. Anyway,we're going to see the Great Wall,the Tiananmen Square,and the Forbidden City. It's going to be so cool!"she told her friend Jane.
From China,the ship would go to Pusan in South Korea, and finally to Tokyo. From Tokyo, they would catch a flight back to Los Angeles.
"The trip is going to last three weeks. It's only going to cost us $2,800 each," she said.
" I hope your trip is more fun than mine was," said Jane. " I took a ship to the Bahamas, but almost all the people in the ship were ill. It was a bad trip. "
