Australia & New Zealand

See for yourself why Aussies and Kiwis have more in common than hopelessly endearing accents.

From spiny echidnas to small flightless birds, neither suffers from a shortage of natural beauty. New Zealand’s Auckland is arguably one of the world’s most beautiful capitals, and by the time you reach the warm waters of the Great Barrier Reef, you may find you’re not quite ready to leave.

Business & Culture in China

A pillar of civilization, China now vies for the title of the world’s largest economy.

The biggest sites simply can’t be missed, but since you’re there, why not budget some time for the businesses shaping our future? Leading companies will open their doors to you in Beijing, Shanghai and laissez-faire-capital Hong Kong—sharing an insight that goes beyond the value of the dollar.

Business & Culture in Japan

Japan has long been a stage for the biggest players in the global economy.

With a model of efficiency that has lead the way through decades of technological innovation, Japan fosters a business environment deserving of admiration. See how this small archipelago can reveal so many natural and cultural wonders—from the feudal castles of Nagoya to the cherry blossoms of Kyoto.

China

Enter the world of China: birthplace of paper, the compass, paper money, fireworks and more.

You’ll trace the Great Wall, measure up against the Terracotta Warriors and race through Beijing’s hutongs by rickshaw. Reaching the mystical Summer Palace by dragon boat is dreamlike, but that’s just China—an eye-opening mix of experiences and modern challenges that you simply have to see.

Discover China

For nearly 500 years, the Forbidden City was actually forbidden—unless you knew the emperor.

But the doors have recently opened to reveal the start of your journey through a centuries-old civilization. Experience the Great Wall as you stand atop a fraction of the original structure. Uncover a sea of uniquely sculpted faces staring back at you in the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huan.

Education in China

The number of undergraduate and doctorate degrees in China has increased fivefold in 10 years.

That’s a pretty astonishing figure for a growing population of over 1.3 billion people. Meet with students and explore how China’s Ministry of Education has evolved into an educational giant—despite centuries of political, civil and cultural turbulence.

India

Discover what makes the sprawling metropolis of Delhi a commercial and cultural force.

Get your feet wet by visiting the stunning Jama Masjid Mosque, and experience the awesome ingenuity of generations past. The city bazaars are full of colorful distractions, beautiful sights and enticing smells that have been a staple in central marketplaces since ancient times.

Japan

Tokyo is a place where cutting-edge technology leaps from the towers in flashes of light.

But there is a polite order to this urbanization that is defined by the ancient world that remains. The Osaka Castle is seemingly unfazed by the neighboring sea of skyscrapers, and is a living testimony of Japan’s unique journey into modernization. Japan is a microcosm of civilization at heart.

Mandarin in Beijing

Dive headfirst into an experience that will help you master the four elusive tones of Mandarin.

Of course, the best way to distinguish these subtle differences and expand your Putonghua is to use it everyday—which you will do in the schools, restaurants and attractions in Beijing—with written exercises and language labs that will help you to naturally converse with native speakers.

Shanghai & Beijing

In the streets of China and Beijing, antiquity and advancement exist in uncanny harmony.

See the impact of tradition on the modern metropolis that has developed—largely as a result of its entrepreneurial and tech-driven economy. Visit a Shanghai business and a Beijing school to gain a deeper understanding of how China is adapting to its new role as a world economic power.

Shanghai & Hong Kong

Despite barriers of culture, language and geography, see how two Chinas move as one.

Take a look at the country’s traditional path of capitalistic economic development as well as the alternative model of government control over production to learn why each is successful. Visit the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to learn about international investment, and explore how the demands of the new economy are being met at a Shanghai school.

Vietnam

So much can change in 40 years, as you will see on your illuminating journey through Vietnam.

In Hue, see where former battlefields double as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In Hoi An, a bike ride into town takes you past rice terraces and tropic vegetation. Amidst their own landscapes, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi give context to modern history with the Reunification Palace and Hoa La Prison.
