To begin with, I would like to say that the Mandarin spoken in Heilongjiang province is my favorite, which means I expect to be able to understand the language of instruction without addtitional strain to my mental faculties. Another consideration is the proximity to Russia and a lot of international trade happening in Harbin. This makes me hope that whenever the practical training is concerned I will have a multitude of interesting opportunities. And of course I feel that my native-level English, advanced German, and native Russian will be an asset for any potential employer.
