Pros

It always shows a different area/aspect of Shanghai. It is really something you cannot do on your own, like you cannot really discover all the goodies in such a big city. With TRT's help, it opens another world to you.

Cons

It is hard to be picky when you're given perfection! TRT events have always been great! If it can stay as a weekly even like it used to be, it could give more options to teachers. I'm very lucky to be able to find an event every month, but I have heard teachers saying they could not sign up to some events because the time slots are limited to certain days.
