Praktika Kinijoje, Chengdu mieste. (biznio ir 5⍟viešbučių)

Sveiki, pirmiausiai norėčiau paprašyti, kad nepriimtumėte šios temos kaip reklamos, aš už tai ką čia rašau nieko negaunu mainais ir darau tai tiesiog norėdamas suteikti tautiečiams galimybę, kuri tikrai nepasitaiko kasdien, o jos įgyvendinimas yra žymiai paprastesnis nei dauguma įsivaizduoja.

Taigi - praktika Kinijoje, pirmiausiai norėčiau pažymėti, jog nėra tokio kriterijaus, kad priimami žmonės kurie šiuo metu studijuoja. Į šią praktiką gali vykti tiek studijuojantys tiek ne, ir amžius nėra labai svarbus. Svarbiausiai yra noras, anglų kalbos žinios bei drąsa.

Praktika būna atliekama arba hospitality sektoriuje arba business sektoriuje, tačiau hospitality sąlygos yra kur kas geresnės. Tikiuosi neužpyksite, jog tekstas sekančiose pastraipose bus angliškas, nes jo yra nemažai, o versti nelabai yra prasmės, kadangi susidomėję žmonės angliškai bet kokiu atveju turi mokėti. :) Finansiškai tai taip pat visiškai nesikandžioja. Hospitality praktikai vienkartinis mokestis tėra 264 arba 342 eurai €570 (laikai keičiasi - naujos 2017 kainos). Palyginimui - vidutiniškai viešbutyje praktikantas gauna 300-350€ per mėnesį, plius gyvena to pačio viešbučio kambaryje nemokamai (o patikėkite, gyvenimas 5* viešbutyje - nerealus), taip pat ir valgo viešbučio restorane kartą per dieną nemokamai, bei tris kartus darbuotojų restorane. Tad išlaidos tik asmeninės - kelionėms, pramogoms ir t.t., priklauso nuo jūsų, bet nepatarčiau taupyti pinigų, ir praleisti nerealią progą patyrinėti nuostabią Kinijos gamtą bei kultūrą, istoriją.

Aš pats vykau per šią agentūrą atlikti praktikos Chengdu mieste (prieš tai buvau dar rytų Kinijoje tris mėnesius kitame viešbutyje (Anji miestelyje, trys šimtai km nuo Šanchajaus), bet tos agentūros kuri mane ten nusiuntė tikrai nerekomenduočiau, jei kam įdomu bus, galiu papasakoti, kas per nuotykiai ten manęs laukė), Howard Johnson 5 žvaigždučių Hi-Tech Plaza viešbutyje, ir nuoširdžiai sakant, tiek praktika, tiek gyvenimas buvo nuostabi patirtis: kelionės po Kiniją, naktinis Chengdu, maistas, kultūra, žmonės, subtropinis klimatas. Buvau tiesiog kaip sapne, ir dabar, praėjus jau pusei metų nuo grįžimo į Europą, vis rimčiau ir rimčiau svarstau grįžti į Kiniją, ir ilgam, pirmiausiai mokytis kalbos, o tada jau sugrįžti į turizmo industriją. Išviso praleidau Kinijoje aštuonis mėnesius. Tad net paskaičius žemiau esantį teksta, prašom klausti bet kokių klausimų, pasistengsiu atsakyti.

Internships in China, Chengdu city.

Hey there! If you are reading this text I assume you are at least curious about a possibility to have your internship in China. More than a year ago I was just like you. One day I just woke up with an idea to go to China for my internship! But I didn't know where or how to start, how much does it cost, what agency's services should I use and so on... I know you all have many questions and doubts, it might be scary and unclear what is waiting for you in the other side of the world. But I am here to help you and answer all of your questions. I had two internships in China, the first one was so so, in a remote area, in a local boutique hotel, where almost nobody could speak English...therefore I would not recommend "Your Career China" agency to anyone... The second internship was in Howard Johnson Hi-Tech Plaza 5* Hotel in Chengdu city, Sichuan province, China. I came there through SII agency and now I can confirm that this agency was one the best things that happened to me, because of it I had the most wonderful time of my life. I can 100% recommend it to you, and now I am one of its representatives in Europe. Anyway, in my second internship I was Front Office management trainee and it's been a truly wonderful time among the best professionals of hospitality industry. I've gained lots of new knowledge, skills, connections, friends, memories and besides that you get paid more than you'll ever spend! Additionally, I've been living in the same hotel I worked. Life in 5* hotel is quite luxurious, believe me. As well as free meals in 5* restaurant and staff canteen. Besides the work there was plenty of time to explore the amazing China, have some massive, wild & crazy parties, have a chinese girlfriend, meet so many wonderful people with whom I am still in touch and they became my good friends. After 8 months in China, the saddest thing was to leave it, but in my mind I knew that I will return here and it will happen soon. People in Chengdu say "Once you come to Chengdu you will not want to leave". And all this is not a fairytale, it can be done much more easier than you think, keep on reading & Chengdu welcomes you! You don't even have to be a student.

Location

The downtown of Chengdu (city population: 14 000 000)

Chengdu is the city that the Chinese have dubbed a Heaven on Earth! The international business community recently named Chengdu as the #1 developing market in Asia over the next 10 years. This is a city that seamlessly combines modern and traditional environments – not to mention, it’s the home turf of the giant panda! Chengdu has 14 million inhabitants, urban downtown full of skyscrapers, worldwide famous brand shops, cafes, etc. There is a very convenient subway system, you can catch taxi anytime anywhere, en route buses until late night, city bikes - and everything for a very cheap price. Of the eight major schools of China's culinary art, Sichuan cuisine is perhaps the most popular. Originating in Sichuan Province of western China, Sichuan cuisine, known as Chuan Cai in Chinese, enjoys an international reputation for being spicy and flavorful. Yet the highly distinctive pungency is not its only characteristic. In fact, Sichuan cuisine boasts a variety of flavors and different methods of cooking, featuring the taste of hot, sweet, sour, salty, or tongue-numbing.
