My story of studying in China.

When I started my trip from Mexico to China I was very nervous, it is the first time I make a trip alone and so far from home, my first time that I would arrive in the city of Beijing, it is known that it is a very impressive, beautiful city, knowing that I would visit its airport for the first time, looking at its streets and the possibility of looking at its wall invaded me with so much emotion; for all of us who are dedicated to traditional Chinese medicine in Mexico we know that going to China has a significant value, so important, but being in Beijing is wonderful. With a lot of nerves, but excited I took my flight, enjoying a wonderful landscape, my arrival was very interesting, such a large and futuristic airport, collecting luggage by means of a special transport was very surprising, I did not believe what my eyes were looking at, an incredible place, being able to express myself through the Mandarin Chinese language was also a very interesting experience, My Chinese is not very good but it allows me to communicate, the first contact I had with a person from China was when I exchanged dollars at the airport for yuan, for me it was not a problem and it allowed me to feel confident that learning another language opens the doors to new experiences, to other worlds.

When I tried to communicate with the first people in the transport and at the airport they were surprised and on their faces they looked very happy that a foreigner could communicate through Mandarin Chinese, they always asked me what was my nationality? Answering them that I was Mexican and that I was coming to China with the intention of improving my Chinese communication skills and learning more about traditional Chinese medicine, it was certainly inevitable to see their faces of happiness when they saw me so enthusiastic and see that I was so interested in their country. My Chinese language may not be the best, but it allows me to understand how many people from China are very good to me, they support me and are supportive, they give me that warmth that you don't have when you are far from home, that is the impression I received when I arrived in China, a very respectful, hardworking nation always looking for the well-being of its people.

I have been about to go to Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it was quite an adventure and no doubt many people helped me, that for me will be a great life experience. It fills me with surprise to see so much technology, organization, that life is very fast and that technology has advanced so much that just with a mobile device we can control many things that are not within our reach, you don't need cash or standing at a counter to order food, everything will be there in a QQ code. That for me is something out of this world, it's impressive, it's very interesting.
