“It’s been already over a week since I’ve left Suceava.

Right now I am in Timisoara, having my intensive Romanian language course.  So I am still in Romania, but it’s really different and I must say that I miss Suceava and GROW a lot.

These six weeks that I spent there was an amazing time and I had so many unforgettable moments. But, to be honest, I didn’t expect things to be so good here. In the beginning I was rather skeptic about GROW and unsure about me being part of it. I’ve never worked with the teenagers before. I didn’t know much about Romania neither. I wasn’t even an AIESEC’er, I joined it just to go for an internship (yes, that’s me – the fake AIESEC’er ).

Hi! So, do you know what happened this morning at 10:30?

Our trainee from International Kindergarten, Janet, bid us farewell and headed back home, in Hong Kong. We’ll sure miss her a lot and we would really like for you to get to know her a bit through what she wrote.

So, here is Janet!

“Ni Ho, I am Janet, but please call me So Hiu Yan! =] I come from Hong Kong, China. I belong to the LC, Chinese University of Hong Kong. I have already been in Iasi for about 1 month and will stay till the end of August. So, we still got plenty of time ~

I am enjoying every bit of life in Romania because it gives me the chance to lead a very different life compared with that of Hong Kong which is everywhere hustle and bustle, somehow suffocating. Yet, meanwhile, it takes a good balance between amusement and working in my kindergarten. I sometimes feel challenging in my work but the smiles of the kids are always rewarding! I believe this will definitely make up to one of my most important memories in Romania.

Lastly, I really want to say it is so nice to meet you all because you guys are always so welcoming! Peng Yau!

PS In Cantonese, Ni Ho means Hello and Peng Yau means friend =]”

Yes, it’s time for another one!

But this one over here is a bit special, we think. Why? Because we wonder, what is it like to be a “Foreigner in a foreign country”. Do you want to find out?

Then join us Saturday, 28th of August, 17:00 at Libraria Carturesti.
