A good time with GAC

Hey everyone, I'm Jackson Walker from Germany, and I'm 23 years old. This spring, I arrived in Beijing, China, because I wanted to learn Chinese. After seeing an ad from GAC online, I got in touch with them. Their service is really awesome; they handled everything from my visa to organizing my Chinese classes, taking care of every little detail.

The accommodation GAC arranged for me is great—I really like the room. It's clean and tidy, with all the basic amenities like a good shower, which is super important to me. They even sorted out all the essentials I needed, including a subway card and a phone card ready for me right after I landed. They also patiently showed me how to use them.

Whenever I ran into any issues living in Beijing, GAC was there to help me out. People here are incredibly warm and friendly, and through GAC’s Chinese language program, I’ve made a lot of friends from different countries. Our Chinese teachers are very professional, and by also practicing with my Chinese friends regularly, my Mandarin has improved quickly.

I really appreciate all the help from GAC. For those of you who want to come to China, I highly recommend getting in touch with GAC. They'll make your trip to China a breeze.

Pros
  • people are very nice
  • Clean environment
  • food was delicious

Great internship experience

Hey, I'm Mark. Thanks to GAC, I snagged a finance internship gig here in Shanghai, China. Seriously, finding GAC was like hitting the jackpot! They not only hooked me up with a finance gig that's right up my alley but also made the whole process a breeze. My game plan? Get some real-world work experience before hitting the books at university.

From the moment I landed, GAC had my back. They sorted out my phone, subway cards – you name it! And whenever I hit a snag, their team was on it, making sure I felt right at home in this new environment. Oh, and Saturdays? It's all about the fun – GAC plans out cool activities like food adventures and sports, making every weekend a blast.

The internship itself? Awesome! Met some great folks, and the company GAC hooked me up with? Total pros. I've learned heaps about finance and how the industry ticks. Every day feels like a learning adventure, and I'm soaking it all up like a sponge.

Thinking about interning in China? GAC's got your back! They not only sort out the logistics but also make you feel like family. With GAC in my corner, I know I've made the right call. This journey's been one for the books – unforgettable and full of eye-opening experiences!

What was your funniest moment?
It was very interesting to participate in the activities organized by GAC. We played sports, played badminton and played Frisbee together, which was really fun!
Pros
  • people are very friendly and welcoming
  • very safe
  • food was delicious

I really liked GoAbroadChina program a lot and my experience was so much more than I expected

I came to China for the Internship in Finance in an investment company. I chose China because Chinese economy is booming and it is the best destination now. I decided to use GAC services because their program was the most suitable for me and offered more options for Internship Programs. Also those extra activities GAC provides are more tailored for foreign young people. I am double majoring in Real Estate and Finance, my Investment Internship really completes my academic backgrounds. I’m sure my internship will help my future development.

I really liked GoAbroadChina program a lot and my experience was so much more than I expected. I wish I could stay more and explore more, because there are so many things to see. My Home Stay family was very nice and I’d say the whole thing was once in a life time experience. My Chinese classes were very helpful, especially because there is great environment to practice. After staying in China and meeting many people I’ve really started to think about future career in China and keep learning Chinese language.

Good experience

Hello this is Fadu, and my recent immersion into Chinese culture through the Go Abroad China program was a profound journey of self-discovery. Prior to embarking on this adventure, my perceptions of China were largely shaped by Western media narratives, offering a limited perspective of this vast and diverse nation. However, my experience shattered these preconceived notions, revealing the multifaceted tapestry of China's rich cultural heritage and the warmth of its people.

Upon my arrival in Shenzhen, I was immediately struck by the city's vibrant energy and modern infrastructure, a testament to China's rapid development and innovation. GoAbroadChina agency helped me found a temporary accommodation in China.They also connected me to a nice company in Shenzhen,gave me the opportunity to intern in this company. This working exprience provided invaluable insights into the Chinese work culture, characterized by diligence, collaboration, and a strong sense of community. Working alongside talented professionals, I was exposed to a myriad of job roles, each presenting unique challenges and opportunities for growth. This immersive experience not only expanded my skill set but also deepened my appreciation for the ingenuity and resilience of the Chinese workforce.

Beyond the confines of the workplace, I found myself enchanted by the beauty of Chinese culture, from its intricate traditions to its sumptuous cuisine. Exploring Shenzhen's vibrant street markets and ancient temples, I reveled in the rich tapestry of sights, sounds, and flavors that define everyday life in China. The warmth and hospitality of the locals left an indelible mark on me, fostering genuine connections that transcended language barriers.

My journey in China also reignited my passion for Mandarin, a language I had previously studied but never fully mastered. GoAbroadChina agency also have online Mandarin learning program for helping forieners to level up their Mandarin reading, speaking and writing skills.Engaging in daily conversations with locals, I embraced the opportunity to refine my language skills, albeit with a humble accent. The patience and encouragement extended to me by the Chinese people inspired me to persevere, igniting a newfound determination to master this intricate language.

In retrospect, my time in China was a transformative chapter in my life, offering a profound glimpse into the heart and soul of this remarkable nation. From the bustling streets of Shenzhen to the tranquil beauty of its ancient landmarks, every moment was imbued with a sense of wonder and discovery. As I bid farewell to China, I carry with me cherished memories and invaluable lessons learned, forever grateful for the opportunity to immerse myself in its captivating culture.

Good experience

Hi this is Fadu and I took part in the go abroad china program. Seeing China through the lens of Western Media makes you blind. China has a beautiful and warm culture with awesome people and above all, one of the safest countries of our time. For several reasons, my trip to China was a dream come true. I have learned Mandarin before but has never made it to China. I speak reasonably good mandarin with a horrible accent- this also inspired my ambition to improve. Made many friends which made the experience more amazing.

Go Abroad China

Why did you choose this program?

I had to go abroad as per university course requirements. I first started my research and involved my career advisor who is also on campus, and helped a lot with finalizing the formalities of going abroad from my school.

What did your program provider assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

Go Abroad China did manage to give me all the important things: getting my study visa didn't present any problems, I got picked up at the airport in Shanghai since it was my first time there anyway. I think the weekend activities can be even more organized.

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

Not to be scared and enjoy China because once you are there and studying everyday, time tends to go by very quickly. Within no time you will realize you are already preparing to go back to your original school after the summer holidays.

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

I had around 20 hours of class time per week, which was definitely a lot since I went to summer school and expected it to be a little less strict. But actually, it was fine in the end and I had a blast learning Chinese with 20 something other classmates from a lot of different countries.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it and/or how did your views on the issue change?

Going to China for the first time was of course something I really thought about and got nervous about, but strangely enough I wasn't shocked as I had predicted. I was worried about life since I didn't speak Chinese, but actually Shanghai is so modern, the Chinese there speak English.

What is your favorite memory from your time abroad?

Being in Shanghai and learning about the city, its hang outs, history, new locations and other little nooks in the city with new friends was a great experience for me.

What is your favorite travel memory?

One of the best places I have visited here in China is Yunnan Province. Yunnan is a special place occupied by different minority groups, these people usually speak a different language to the Mandarin Chinese that we are used to, their food is different but they have preserved their cultural heritage very well, so much that their way of life attracts lots of Chinese and foreign tourists. I think it is amazing that we can all be in China but still have groups of people who haven't gone mainstream; they still have their unique traditions that people travel many miles to go see.

Which destination is most underrated? Conversely, which is most overrated?

When I first joined Go Abroad China, our main cities of operations were Beijing and Shanghai. Having branched out to southern China, Chengdu city in Sichuan Province is actually becoming quite popular, this is a great thing because people can still have great experiences even if they are not in Beijing or Shanghai. Chengdu seems to be getting some spotlight now especially from foreigners who are looking for language learning and work opportunities. Many firms are also relocating there because the average cost of living and production is still quite low, meaning better profits compared to if they were located in Shanghai.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Yes, I think the top thing I still continue to learn even today is maintaining good working relationships with our partner companies. In our go abroad and education sector, we have collaborations with many different companies inside China, and schools too. I feel like my people skills are always being put to the test because part of my job duties involves communicating directly with them. And during the busiest months when we have many clients, our communication is even more frequent. So keeping a good connection and relationship with such companies is the most important thing that I have learned and have to keep doing.

What unique qualities does your company possess?

I have seen that a large portion of our clients are usually happy with how we arrange placements for them, it makes me feel proud of our company's service delivery department, their job is very important as our company is judged based on that. With the company doing well, we are able to help even the clients/applicants who have a limited budget to customize our services so that at least we can reach a satisfactory agreement. For a few lucky ones, they might even get a partial scholarship if they prove that they are hard-workers and fit the requirements.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

We had a young student from Australia who joined the language program in Beijing, when her program came to an end, like many others she was saying how much she would miss Beijing and that she would come back. At the time, of course, I thought it was a polite conversation, but a year later I was surprised when she called us back as said this time she wants to do an internship! I thought it was special because due to the expenses of traveling to China, it takes a lot of time to save up and have a new budget to travel again. Our management over here was so impressed that she got herself a sweet discount, she is now considered a friend here at our GAC offices!
