Hi to you all,
I am Nancy, a University of Auckland Bachelor of Commerce Honours and Bachelor of Law student. I started this blog to record and share my experiences and memories for the next three and a half months in Beijing, China, for my summer internship. Well, summer internship for New Zealand, but it's really deep winter internship in China. My internship starts on the 16th November in Fonterra China. I will be based in the Beijing office in the Global Trade Sales department.
Why China? I am ethnically a Chinese, born and grew up in Guangzhou (southern China) and left to New Zealand with my family when I was 9. It's been a LONG LONG time since I left and to be honest, China is a new environment for me. The exponential economical growth and the increase in living quality in China are out of my imagination. My expectations and feelings for this trip back to China is somewhat mixed with 'going back home where I was born' and 'visiting the home that I don't have much memories about'. The mixture of excitement and nervousness runs through my mind.
But WHY China? Depsite the common reasons like, China is the fastest growting country in the world, huge markets, cheap food etc, I do have other reasons. China is a familiar yet new country for me. To experience a real China life is what I aim for. I want to expand my exposures to this huge market, open doors for future oppportunities, experience the difference between a country of 1.3 billion people and a country just over 4 million people, and of course, to have an extraodinary unversity break!
So I guess, my blog is for the purpose of sharing my feelings/experiences/thoughts/photos/tips/whatever I feel like. I hope you will enjoy reading my experiences, because I know I will.
Beijing here I come!
