Final Day!!!!!!

May 26, 2010

In Memory of Will Genge

The Journey

Today our journey has come to an end

No gifts to purchase no money to spend.

Our Yen and Yuan gone and tuition is due

Hopefully Duquesne will understand too.

The country of Asia has taken its toll

No energy left inside of my soul.

The tiring walks and waking up early

Were all worth the pain and agony surely.

The Great Wall of China the shrines and the gardens

The Bank of Ramos and the infamous Marlin.

The fake Louie bags and Gugci jeans bought

Were not finally sold without having fought.

Meeting the students and owning the table

Ping Pong was awesome U.S. won the label.

Shirley and Wendy Cindy and Star

Were all very helpful in guiding us far.

Viv timed out Yokim and Baptiste bought flowers

We relaxed in Hohoi for numerous hours.

Bruzda and Shedlock watched out for the crew

Meandering through Ropongi without any clue.

Stimulating the economy was a gargantuan task

But Steph spent more money than China could ask.

Johnson will forever be funding the debt

That McNansky accrued so her needs were met.

Diane’s swift ability to navigate maps

And anime cities with afternoon naps.

A symphony of snoring and the Korean Dream

Traffic and taxis made everyone scream.

Evenings at keep and watching Kenny Powers

Soaking in bathtubs with other men for hours.

E.T. and Superman Typhoon and Black

Shedlock with a carry-on for a daily snack.

Sitting on the toilet all night and so sick

Brett and poor Andrew the food was redic.

The drama and bickering screaming and crying

Yet the trip was so perfect I am not even lying.

Shanghai we visited as fast as we could

Running through yu garden was not very good.

Scanning deer scratches on the side of a tree

The dormouse is extinct like bananas -Solecki.

Frolex and Oakey were brought back to the states

But happy are we for the cheap interest rates.

China we owe you but you have won too

We brought to your country our ignorant crew.

Although our decorum was slightly a joke

We’re sorry again for the rules that we broke.

We tried to be gracious, respectful and kind

We most likely drove you all out of your mind.

Regardless of making a thunderous display

Our group wants to thank you in every way.

This trip has been awesome and the experience was stacked

Ch-apan be prepared when we’re on our way back.

-Ryan Shedlock

Thanks again to Matt and Diane for organizing this amazing experience. Without you we could not have made this happen. This trip offered a great cultural perspective as well as a learning experience that could not be attained in any classroom. We appreciate your organization of this trip as well as coming along with us. I only hope that you enjoyed this experience as much as we did.
