was taking Chinese language and culture courses. What I enjoyed most about my studies in China, is that whatever Mandarin I learned in class, I would use outside as well to communicate with people, whether it be taxi drivers or shop keepers. Having the opportunity to speak Mandarin everyday really fostered my learning. In the afternoons I would have culture classes where I would learn about Chinese calligraphy, Beijing opera, Chinese martial arts, and Chinese cooking among many more subjects. The mix of learning about language and culture made each day of class enjoyable and exciting.I believe that the key to a successful study abroad is the attitude you carry. Going to China, I had a very positive attitude. I was open minded, and flexible. I knew that of course things would be different, but I learnt to embrace these differences. I also knew that problems or conflict may arise, but I saw these as opportunities for learning. Having grown up in Kenya, and having attended international schools, I had already been exposed to a wide variety of culture. This has made me more culturally aware and more appreciative of diversity, which added to my positive attitude.
