Student name: Mr. Andy Trinh

Time in Global Exchange Center: 24 weeks from Sep. 2011

Coming from a small country like Sweden I thought I would have difficulties adapting to the busy and very populated city Beijing. I was wrong though; breaking the language barrier with help from the school and exploring Beijing made me realize that Beijing is a place for everyone. The subway network here is surprisingly convenient and is still evolving in a rapid rate; reaching your destination is not an issue at all. I remember being a bit scared of moving to Beijing due to the language barrier and the fact that Beijing has a larger population than my country, but now I am just craving for more exploring.
