I got a great chance to interact with the people of Canada where I learnt to incorporate the culture of the Canadian citizens and interact freely at all levels in life, during my 8 year stay. I have also spent some good time in Hong Kong, approximately six months during a student exchange program. Here I also got the chance to interact with Hong Kong students plus other citizens of the country from all walks of life. During the summary of my abroad study program, I had the chance of being to Hungary and Czech for one month.

In addition to these periods of stay in the different countries, I have also traveled widely to more than 20 countries, meeting with different people.
