The best 3 months of my life!

I was in Beijing for 3 months and honestly this was the best time of my life.

I had a really good relationship with my host family. They were taking me everywhere, introducing me to all of their friends and showing me the culture by making me try new food and giving me a tour around the country. They were interested in getting to know me and really made me feel like I am home. There were some little problems with the language barrier but the progress they made with their English was huge so I was more motivated to learn Chinese so the communication could be even better.

Beside being around the family, the agency was organising different cultural events so that all the Au pairs can get together, get to know each other better and at the same time experience the Eastern culture. One time we all went to the Olympic village,it was a great day to celebrate one of the girls birthday. We had so much fun just going around the busy alleys full of tourists and people convincing you to buy a kite. The day ended with a storm and we all got soaked before getting to the subway station, but it was worth because this was one of the greatest days with the girls.

Another thing that the program gave me is lifelong friendships. I met amazing people from all around the world, people with interesting stories and different experience from mine. It was always a pleasure to go to my Chinese classes and see everyone there. We were doing a lot of together like trying new food, travelling or just hanging out in a coffee shop.

The agency was always there for me and made my stay in Beijing a wonderful experience, one that I will never forget and one that I will always encourage people to try.
