Hi everyone! Have you ever wondered what it’s like to study in a different country? π Let’s meet Assiya and Abilkaiyr, two teenagers from Kazakhstan, a country in Central Asia known for its vast steppes and high mountains. ποΈ
They decided to travel all the way to Beijing, the capital city of the Chinese mainland, to study data science and economics. Pretty cool, right? π»π
At first, they were a bit nervous. New country, new language, new friends! But guess what? They discovered that life in Beijing isn’t so different from home. The city is bustling and fast-paced, just like their hometowns. π΄ββοΈπ
One of the most exciting things they found is how much the cultures of Kazakhstan and the Chinese mainland have in common. For example, both places value respect for elders. That means they always listen to their grandparents and older family members. π΅π΄
They also found that people in both countries believe in helping each other out and taking care of their communities. It’s all about teamwork! π€
While studying, Assiya and Abilkaiyr made lots of new friends from different parts of the world. They shared stories, tried new foods like dumplings π₯ and noodles π, and even learned a few words in Mandarin Chinese! δ½ ε₯½ (NΗ hΗo) means hello!
Their adventure shows that studying abroad is more than just going to school. It’s about making new friends, learning about different cultures, and growing as a person. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll have an adventure like theirs! π
What new culture would you like to explore? π§
