Awsome summer internship with GAC

Soon after leaving the plane, we were greeted by a local team waving and shouting our names with a Go Abroad China sign. We were introduced and taken to our host family, who were kind enough to stay awake until late in the night just to greet us. I was shown to my room, which was surprisingly spacious, with my own single bed, wardrobes and dressing table.
The next morning I was awoken to the heat of a Chinese summer day, and after breakfast I was greeted by the Go Abroad China coordinator who took me to visit my intern hospital.
Upon returning to our host family after a long, but great day out, we were welcomed to the smell of the delicious and popular Chinese dish. This also gave us a better chance to talk to our host family along with the other intern. We were told that we were accepted as part of the family and should see the host mother as our real mother for our stay in China, which was particularly sweet of her.
A typical day of internship consisted of observing and sometimes helping in the dental department of the 'Police Hospital'. I was not expecting to do any hands on work with any of the dental equipment as I had no qualifications, so being able to use some equipment was a pleasant surprise.
Also, once or twice a week, Go Abroad China would organize some activities, which was great as I felt I made a huge impact. On evenings, we were able to have some free time, to either sit and relax with the other interns, or go out somewhere perhaps to watch a film or go shopping, or just explore the local area. This is also the time when most of the interns in the city got together at the Go Abroad China and chilled out to play.
In Addition, Go Abroad China staff were fantastic in organizing my placement. I had special dietary requirements which were all tended to, and the pre departure contact was extensive, giving me confidence that I was to be taken care of very well. The organization of my placement was decided by myself and then implemented brilliantly by Go Abroad China. I would definitely recommend this to my friend and cannot wait until I can undertake another project somewhere!
