This was a great experience. Asian people are different from the Westerners and it is interesting to try to find out how and why. Hong Kong is a great city that can provide anyone with basically anything. I have found here many friends, experienced amazing things and travelled to many countries. This stay has changed me and I am very grateful for it.

Now that I look back at the two months I spent in The Netherlands, I can say that this is a once in a lifetime experience. Everything is a new challenge for me. Living far away from home, designing six-week Chinese lessons independently, teaching adult beginners, etc. These were hard in the beginning but I learnt and grew a lot from this experience. I have more confidence to be a teacher.
