Liz was excited. She was going to Asia with her mom. Neither of them had ever traveled 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 on a ship to Shanghai and Beijing. "Beijing lies inland, 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 Tian'anmen Square, and the Forbidden City.It's going to be so cool!" she told her neighbor 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, if we can control shopping," she laughed.
