Hi, I am Andre, I came to China to experience a different culture and see different things, just to get a better understanding of the world. Most people think the world is simply about their hometown or cities, but it's much bigger and broader, with much more to offer than what we see on TV or from our doorstep.

Being here allows me to immerse myself in a different culture and interact with different people. It helps me pick up different traits and become a better person. Additionally, I'm here to get a better understanding of business because I'm a marketing major. I'm working with a marketing team during my internship, which is helping me improve and gain a broad perspective on global business. This experience aligns with my career path in international business.

One thing to note about China is that if you're not from here, people might stare at you. It's just curiosity, as many people come from rural or smaller parts of China. You just have to get used to it, and it'll be okay. As for me, I do like it here. Initially, there was a culture shock, but once you get used to it and explore it, you'll see the inner workings of Beijing beyond the initial impressions.

Beijing is more diverse than I thought. I've met people from Europe, Africa, and various other places. They all have different stories, but they're all great people. Lastly, I would definitely recommend Go Abroad China to others. In a country like this, where it's strict and different from what I'm used to, having someone at your back is crucial. They've been supportive and have helped me have the experience I've had. It's all about connections, and without them, I wouldn't have had the same experience.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
