Hi Charlie! Have you sent off your application/had your interview? I've had my interview now so just got to wait and see if I get it and find out where I'll be placed. I put South China as my first preference as I'd like to be near Guangzhou but sounds like I may be place anywhere. I'm going it alone so pretty nervous about getting to Beijing and not knowing anyone but I guess most people are in the same position. Hope your course is going well. I'm getting through mine slowly!

Hi Charlie!

So, I've applied for the internship and sent off the application pack but not had an interview yet. What stage are you at with it all? I've barely looked at my online course though so need to get started with that really. How come you're not doing your course with i-to-i?
