On July 5^th to 13^th students came together in Shanghai, China to immerse themselves in a fruitful one week to uncover the world of hospitality, the Chinese heritage, the vibrant city of Shanghai and also to pick up some conversational mandarin.

We had the opportunities to meet the various faculty lecturers, participate in the activities which include introduction to hospitality, learn the importance of service through service quality & guest satisfaction, how hotels goes about maintaining their quality check through mystery shopping, making delicious mouth-watering pastries from our pastry class as well as be a one-minute bartender in our Bar & Beverage class making beverages and coffee. It is so much fun doing it hands on with instructor guidance at the bar and the kitchen.

We were so thrilled visiting amazing properties and friendly professional leaders from the luxury five-star hotels namely The Middle House and Amanyangyun Resort in Shanghai. We felt their hospitality and great passion in delivering superb services for their guests in their unique and caring ways.

Like most of my classmates, we learn some basic Chinese. It was interesting how learning Mandarin and Chinese culture is by living in China which we could immerse in the environment and interacts with the locals.

We had fun tasting various delicacies e.g. baozi, xiaolongbao , hot pot, dumplings and more, but our all-time favorite is the bubble tea.

We were also introduced to Chinese painting and appreciation, which is a total different experience creating painting with ink and water.
