I have to admit that my internship in China was great! The whole process before my arrival was very clear and fast. Whenever I needed some additional information or documents, the SII agency provided. At first, I was sceptical, as there is a lot of information about internship scams going on in China, but the agency stuff reassured me and answered all of my questions.
Upon my arrival in China, I was greeted and taken care of. I wasn't left alone in a country where I didn't speak the language. My accommodation was however a big shock at the beginning. The condition of the apartment, and especially the bathroom, was not what I was expecting. But this was only one negative aspect of the whole experience. My host company, IObit, gave me a lot of memorable moments. I've learned a lot and I could put into practice my uni knowledge. Though, there was a lot more translation than I expected! The company culture was great, everyone was extremely nice and understanding. Every two months we would have a company dinner or some other activity like one day trip or a music contest. Lots of fun for sure!
Moreover, the girls from SII became more than just someone who helped me get my internship in Chengdu. They became friends with whom we would go for drinks on Friday evenings or go on a trip during national holiday! Always eager to help and give advice.
I truly believe this experience has helped me to open up towards new cultures, not only Chinese. Of course, I came here to gain experience at work, but what I've got is so much more than that!
Chengdu as a city is great. So many cool places to eat, drink, dance, chill and in general spend your free time. I fell in love with the regional dish called Hot Pot which is gonna be the thing I will miss most going back home!
I recommend SII agency for everyone who's looking for an amazing experience in China, both for career and cultural development. My stay in Chengdu was definitely one of the greatest life experiences so far!
