I've only been in
Zhuhai for slightly more than a week now, but I feel like I have been living in this city forever.
Zhuhai has most of what I like about my hometown - plus there are some things that I have always missed in Russia. This perfect mix makes the beginning of my internship extremely pleasant and fruitful.
Zhuhai has
a reputation of a garden city and not without reason: just some
minutes before landing in the international airport of Zhuhai, I looked into the
window and saw the city with lots and lots of trees intermingled with charming
buildings which perfectly fit into natural surroundings. Zhuhai indeed
boasts rich flora: trees, flowers, bushes and parks are everywhere.

When I came out, I was greeted by a wave of warm air and it was clear from the beginning that I won’t get cold here. True! I got the warmest welcome from the
Intern China, from my host family and at my workplace as well.
I was in good hands and had nothing to worry about – after a representative of
Intern China met me at the airport, I was introduced to my family . The moment I walked into the house I saw a table full of Chinese traditional food. What a great welcome...

I have tasted it all ! If you want to be healthy and fit, then Chinese cuisine might just be what the doctor ordered!

The next day Susan, a nice lady I was staying with, kindly agreed to show me around the city. We visited most of the famous spots of
Zhuhai – from the Zhuhai Shijingshan Park (珠海石景山公園), which is a huge park, including an amazingly beautiful lake, to the Zhuhai fishing girl statue ( 珠海渔女) - the most famous tourist attraction of the city.

Then it was the time to get down to business so I was introduced to my boss and colleagues at the
ODM group. From the very beginning I could feel the friendly atmosphere of this team. Being hard-working, ambitious and always ready to help my colleagues, I really want to drive
the ODM group towards success.
Every day I get different tasks and this makes the job very challenging. If you want to unleash your creative potential and gain a unique experience of working in a great company, then the internship at
ODM is what you need. Marketing, sales, working with international corporations are just a few areas this company works in. I am even getting involved in
Facebook.
In your free time you will never
get bored here: Intern China does its best to make the interns' free time useful and interesting. For the last week I have met lots and lots of my peers from various countries and backgrounds. This is amazing!

As the saying goes, East or West, home is best. However, after internship in
Zhuhai I will defintely have two homes.
