Logistical Considerations
Yunnan University can accommodate more than
60 students, though a smaller number (30-40)might be preferable as this is our first year.
No direct flight from Manila. Will have totransfer in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, or Xiamen.
Other Concerns / Issues
Interest among students and parents?
Confirmation preparation (confirmation usuallyscheduled in 3rd or 4th quarter)
Number of teachers (given H4 Beijing and IB);
Who can be tapped as future team leader?Monday, February 14, 2011
