Great opportunity

This was a great opportunity to learn about Beijing and Chinese culture, with lots of time for sightseeing and an immersive experience in a Chinese family. Socialising with other au pairs and meeting people from across the world was a particular highlight, as well as discovering amazing places in the city. I really liked the host family I was put with, they were extremely generous and kind towards me. I will really miss the kids when I go home, as well as all of the friends I made here, it's a shame we don't all live in the same place all the time! The Mandarin lessons were also fun, taught me what I needed to get by, and I met friends in these classes as well which was a plus. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to experience something new.
