Famous fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto once said, “Self is something that cannot be seen. Self-discovery is only obtained when it clashes with something else and bounces back.”

Why take a gap year in China?

• To polish your CV? Definitely. China is a booming economic power.
• To study Mandarin? For sure. There is no better way to study a foreign language than living with a local host family and being immersed in it.
• In short, it is a way of self-discovery with stories and clashes happening every single day.
