"Do not go gentle into that good night" Finishing an internship

After seeing all my fellow summer interns leave during the Autumn, now it would appear that Winter has come for me and I must bid a fond farewell to my internship too. Even though I am not long for the world of interning I should not fret for I have learnt and experienced a lot in my 6 months at The ODM Group.

During my time here I was fortunate enough to go to not one, not two, not four, but three trade fairs and represent ODM in the proverbial field. This allowed me to put all the knowledge and information I had learnt into practical use, while also seeing the whole different side of manufacturing and prospecting new suppliers/clients.

As well as the professional side of the internship, I took time aside to hone my artistic skills and focus on my true passion, Beijing Opera. Although clearly I will need more practice in painting, my 普通话 has definitely flourished while I've been here.

Lastly, Zhuhai as a city is not the largest nor the most metropolitan, but that is actually one of the best things about it. Compared to other cities, the hustle bustle rush of China that many people fear to meet, it is actually quite calm here and as I mentioned, before the city is the 4th cleanest in China. How do you like that Beijing aka Mordor! Also a side note, you can climb the Great Wall of China here in Zhuhai, though admittedly it's only 10 years old. 

In summary, I have had an amazing experience here and would strongly recommend interning with ODM Group and the service that InternChina has provided has been fantastic. For me it's not so much Goodbye but see you again soon, or in Chinese 别说再见,说再会!
