But one father in China is taking that ’goodbye’ to a whole new level.

Huang Haitao has managed to convince his daughter, Huang Xinyi, to allow him to drive her to her new school, in Seattle, Washington!

虽然大多数年轻人可能会难以忍受和父母在一辆车里度过这么长的时间,但是这样的经历对黄欣怡和黄海涛来说并不是什么新鲜事儿。

2014年为宣传南京青奥会,父女俩曾经一起驾车行驶了12万公里。
Nanjing, capital of east China’s Jiangsu province, is also going to be the starting point for their latest journey. Huang Haitao and his daughter say they plan to travel across 52 countries as part of a 9-month journey to finally get her into class in Seattle.
而这对父女此次前往西雅图的旅程也将以江苏省会南京为起点。父女俩表示此次旅程将途径52个国家,9个月之后抵达西雅图。
