My name is Cathal Doherty, I am a computing student at Letterkenny Institute of Technology in Ireland. I came to China along with my 3 friends as part of a new collaboration between LYIT and Neusoft. I have had a wonderful time during my stay in Qingchengshan making countless memories with some of the nicest people i have met in my life. Everybody from students to teachers have been so friendly and welcoming which has helped us greatly and made the experience so enjoyable. This friendliness helped us to settle in and bypass the language barrier very easily. In my time here i have seen Pandas for the first time and visited many beautiful places, from climbing mount Qingchengshan to visiting the Buddha in Leshan. Although the food here is very different to Ireland, after some time adapting, I found it to be extremely tasty. I am an outgoing person and I love sport, so i was glad when the football team let us join in and kept us entertained throughout our time here. I have made n u m e r o u s good friends who i hope to keep in contact with and see again in the future. I am so thankful to have got this opportunity, I only wish I could stay longer.
