The teachers took us on days out each week

The teachers took us on days out each week and showed us the most amazing places that we wouldn't have known to explore otherwise. However, the highlight was travelling to Yanshuo after the teaching was finished. Getting to know the children and what they enjoyed meant that the lessons became more and more fun each time, as I knew exactly how to keep their interest. To begin with, my classes changed each week which made it hard to connect with my students, but once I was given a permanent class the whole experience became much more enjoyable. It has helped me to gain the confidence to teach and travel to other countries across the world, and through it I have made lifelong friends both in China and back home in England. Travelling to Yangshuo at the end and exploring it on motorbikes.
