Lawrence Doughty, studying Environmental Geo-Science at Cardiff University, Wales, UK, wrote about his gap year in China. “I went from Shanghai, a huge multi-cultural city, up to Harbin (hosts of the Harbin Ice Festival near North Korea) and all the way down to Yunnan province, where I saw a rainforest. I also went all the way onto the Tibetan plateau, drinking Yak butter tea and visiting Tibetan monasteries and temples. It took 37 hours on a train, passing rice paddy fields, mountains and rivers. My advice for future gap-year students? Work, get the money you need, and then go for it—wherever takes your fancy. Buy a Lonely Planet guidebook, maybe a small phrasebook of the local language, and explore! You’ll find out new things about other cultures and maybe even yourself.” S A LT U S M A G A Z I N E 41
