1	无	It has been almost seven years since I was in China. This is the second time I visit this fantastic country and I am in love with it, more than ever. My experience living and studying at SISU has been extraordinary. I have met many people from different countries and cultures. My life has been enriched in so many ways, more than I can imagine. I will return to my country, Argentina, knowing that I have friends all around the world, waiting for me to visit them. From my point of view, that is the best part of being in SISU, you have the opportunity to experience Chinese culture while at the same time meet people from other cultures. The Hongkou campus is very well located, therefore, I have the opportunity to move around Shanghai without any problem. It also has its own canteen, that offers a wide range of Chinese food, which I really like. The teachers I have had are extremely kind and patient. They are also very professional. It has been almost 4 weeks since I started the program and I can honestly say that I have the basic tools to communicate in my daily life in China. When I came here I did not know any Chinese. I studied it more than 10 years ago when I was a little boy, but I almost forgot everything. However, during this 4 weeks now I feel very confident about my Chinese speaking abilities. For example, I am capable of ordering food, asking for some information on the street, introducing myself and much more. For a foreigner that is more than enough. Although, having the opportunity to study this beautiful language again has made me realize how much I enjoy it and I am pretty sure that I will continue studying it when I get back to Argentina. The Spanish-Speaking Countries Program is very well organized. I could firmly say that it is full of very interesting activities. For example, one of my favorites was the visit to the Meeting Site for the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It was a really moving and inspiring experience. The place is huge and beautiful. I have learned a lot about Chinese history, more than I could have learned by reading a book on my own. I also bought a gorgeous red notebook and a pen in the gift shop that I cannot wait to use when I get back to my country. I know I will remember about this place everytime I write on that notebook. There was also another moving experience that I will keep in my heart forever. The 15th of July we had activity called ‘Be a Shanghainese for a day’ and among the many things we did that day, there was one in particularly that made me realize how much I love China. We cooked Chinese food with some local citizens. In my case I had the blessing of cooking with an elder woman who remembered me to my grandmother. She was very kind and generous. I am sure that I will never forget her. In my opinion, that is what China is about, tradition and future at the same time. An elder teaching a young foreigner as me how to cook Chinese food shows how Chinese tradition goes from one generation to another. And more important, how Chinese culture can impact in many lifes in so many ways. I can firmly say that my life will not be the same after having experienced ‘Shanghai Summer School (3S)’. A big part of my heart will always be in China after this journey and I will be forever grateful to this country and its hospitality.
