Fantastic, immersive experience

It was great to be immersed in Chinese culture - meeting locals and eating the great food is something I really enjoyed. It made such a difference that free accommodation and a food stipend was provided; for me, this took a lot of stress out of the endeavour. Teaching the students, and forming personal bonds with them was a particular highlight. I found this really rewarding and these are the things that I think I will remember for the rest of my life.

I would definitely recommend this to another person, because I think this is great way to be immersed in Chinese culture (the food, the people, the place generally). It is a great way to take part in a unique, rewarding experience and form relationships with people one wouldn't otherwise have met (the students, but also the foreign teachers). It's a beautiful, interesting country which is really really interesting to learn about.
