Review

Summer has never been meaningful as my trip to China. Although CIP has been at the center of arranging this trip. I will take credit for personally crafting the components and my program coordinators will recon this. May be I will give credit for the support they rendered and for being there when I needed them.
I arrived in China for the second time after I Studied Abroad in Shanghai in 2013. I was confident I will be back to Shanghai because it was awesome city full of opportunities and vibrancy.
I am a finance student in second year in uni with Wall Street ambitions. I was placed on a 3 month internship with a stock brokerage company headquartered in Qingdao but with an operations office in Shanghai. I assisted with building database by Data mining to help software designers build a module to predict the movement of financial systems around the globe. This is a live project that was not completed before my Internship. I then asked for a month more extension and this was granted as CIP facilitated the process very efficiently.
I like the placement because I learnt so much about Asian financial systems and markets. As usual, the social benefits cannot be left out too. I worked with very talented financial experts and organizations.
My host family was also very supportive, I had dinner with my host family every evening. Those who have been in China will know that Chinese are religious about their dinner times and adhere to it. I always marvel that the entire family will wait me till I am back home and we eat together.
My time has been beautiful in China.
