International experience
I have been to Greece twice. The first time was in 2012 and I worked as a volunteer assistant in a NPO named Ame. A Children Foundation for about one month. I found this program through AIESEC (an international student association) and I was a member of it. During that period, I took care of mentally disabled children and helped to raise money for the foundation. It was the first time that I truly felt a responsibility for a better world and also the first time I experienced a foreign life.
The second time I went to Greece was in 2015 for business trip. I was working in a ship service company at that time and in charge of service for customers in Greece. I spent two weeks there visiting customers with my colleague. Besides, I have been to Singapore for business trip once and spent one week there.
When in university, I participated in an international program named " Global Understanding " which was joint by three universities and the other two were East Carolina University in USA and Tomsk State Pedagogical University in Russia. We discussed some topics through internet face-to face video chat system. We shared different ideas, learnt foreign cultures, and practiced communication skills in English.
