I learnt a lot

I learnt a lot about another culture and different ways of living and thinking. This has benefitted me a lot as I feel more educated about these things. I felt inspired to learn about Chinese history, language and Chinese politics. I also learnt to be more accepting and to be more relaxed about things outside of my comfort zone. I enjoyed teaching despite the lessons I was told to teach themselves were routine and outdated. It was great to see when students were enthusiastic and enjoyed lessons, and was also wonderful to see a shy student give a question a go. I enjoyed all of the cultural excursions, especially going to Nan'ao Island .
