Hello! I have successfully arrived in my placement city of Wuzhou, in Guangxi province which borders Vietnam :) With me at my placement are Adam, 30, from Cheltenham; Monica, 30, from Norway; and Daga, 30, from Poland. So they are all 30, I am the baby of the group! The train got into the station of Guilin 90 minutes late so we were on it for 26 hours! Not an experience I wish to repeat! I...

I soooooo want to enrol for this course! It's fabulous and everything is covered: full teacher training, induction, Mandarin lessons, accommodation, food, the school - and all important support for advice and guidance when needed!

Hence I don't have access to a...

This week has been a great introduction to China, in every possible way (positive and negative – see later!) but although this next bit is what I’m been trying to distract myself from thinking about for the last six months, I’m looking forward to getting settled and into a routine. I might come...

These past few weeks have been phenomenal - I hope it has been for you as well! These past couple of days have been crazy though I must say. Lots of stuff to do and get done. The other night we were given our placements. That was CRAZY. We were all hanging around the hall and were told not that night and so we all left (I think that was the plan) and then an...

Trans-Mongolian Express to Beijing!

I like a challenge and I needed an adventure which is how I decided to do the i-to-i China Internship in the first place. I also like to do things properly, so I went all or nothing on both the challenge and the adventure fronts; that’s how I ended up doing a triathlon and taking the Trans-Mongolian Express to Beijing instead of flying. Both of those things have turned out to be brilliant experiences that...
