Yangshuo/Rongxian

What I most enjoyed about this programme was the fact that I got a really immersive experience of Chinese culture. I loved meeting lots of Chinese people, who were very friendly and made a real effort to make us feel welcome, even trying to teach us some Mandarin! I think that that kind of immersion is really impossible to achieve just by going somewhere as a tourist, and that this is the main selling point of a programme like this. In addition, I feel that I gained a lot of confidence and important skills through teaching. I really enjoyed interacting with the kids on a daily basis and I think that the experience of different cultures was mutually rewarding. In addition, on the programme I got to see some beautiful parts of China, and experience them in quite a unique way.
