Welcome to Homestay and Cultural Immersion:

**NEWS FLASH**

Due to the increased number of swine flu cases worldwide, people participating in our homestay programs might be required to submit a signed note from their doctor saying they are in good health with no contagious diseases. We appologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

IHC is now China Study Link (CSL)!

It brings me great pleasure to announce that IHC will now be joining forces with one of China’s top education and culture exchange service providers, China Study Link (CSL).

We will continue to provide the best in home stay and cultural immersion experiences that China has to offer, as well as all our other services. The only thing that will change is our name.

You can continue using our online home stay application, as well as all our email addresses; everything will remain in operation until further notice. Please feel free to also check out CSL’s website (www.chinastudylink.com) for more information, and stay tuned for more updates coming soon.

We hope you are as excited about these new developments as we are, and we look forward to serving you soon. Until then, best wishes and happy travels!

Sincerely,


Trip Edwards
Co-Founder, IHC
