The Role
I applied for an internship in China through Go Abroad China after comparing various agencies. The two factors that influenced my choice were the cost and internship role, so after looking through the different roles, I was offered, I decided to apply through Go Abroad China and I admit my program went smoothly just as I wanted. My accommodation was sorted and I was able to easily create a bank account and find my way to my internship with the help of GAC. Though the language barrier proved to be an issue during my stay, I got to learn mandarin which proved useful during my stay.
