REFERENCES: Ever since I started studying, I have firmly been convinced of the precious advantages of extending my subject-based knowledge and developing on a personal level by studying a semester abroad. Reading about Foreign Trade University and finding out about the possibility of attending to interesting courses not available at Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main definitely sparked my interest, especially because the field of Banking and Finance suited perfectly to my field of specialization. Moreover, it epitomized a challenging experience for me, which supported important communicative, cross-cultural and work-related skills. It was additionally my desire to avail myself of the opportunity of widening my horizon by experiencing a different way of life and cultural dissimilarities in a first-hand perception. My placement at Foreign Trade University of Hanoi was simply a fantastic experience and I made lots of friends from countries all over the world Axel von Schwanebach during my semester abroad. The FTU offers an environment that supports Germany your well-being as well as your academic studies. The University was very Autumn semester 2011 cooperative and supportive before and during my exchange semester in Hanoi. I received help whenever I needed it, whether I was dealing with bureaucratic issues, looking for courses or a place to live (even if we decided to move in somewhere else). It was reassuring to know that there was someone at the end of a phone call or email whenever I needed advice. I particularly liked the wide and varied selection of units on offer during my exchange programme as well as the style of teaching in which we learned. I especially enjoyed my lectures as academics were engaging and passionate about their subject. I also liked taking part in the lively debates and group works as well as supporting my fellow students in their projects in the wide range of extracurricular activities, including sport and numerous social events, that are on offer all year round to help students maintain a good worklife balance. The city of Hanoi itself is the perfect size – small enough to feel welcoming yet big enough for there to be always plenty to do. Spending a semester in Hanoi was simply an amazing and mind-opening experience and I would not hesitate a fraction of a second if asked if I would do it again. There is not much left to say, just take a leap of faith, pack your things together and experience by yourself what Vietnam, its dazzling and vibrant capital Hanoi and the Foreign Trade University have to offer, you will not regret it a single moment! If you have any questions concerning my exchange programme, do not hesitate to contact me via [email protected] or feel free to invite me to some beers or a Vietnamese restaurant if you live near Frankfurt! Anna Ries Germany Autumn semester 2011

Looking back, this study abroad experience was everything I expected, yet everything I didn’t. Living in a city like Hanoi is exciting, interesting, challenging in some ways but most importantly it is different from every other city I have lived in before. One day you have a fabulous time while relaxing with some friends at one of the dozens of lakes and sipping on your Vietnamese coffee and the other day you find yourself on your motorbike on a huge street around 5.30pm surrounded by hundreds of other motorbikes, stressed, frightened and sweating because everything seems so overwhelming. But exactly this is Hanoi. Studying at the Foreign Trade University was a great experience, not least because of my Vietnamese fellow students. All of them were unbelievably friendly and helpful. I am glad I had the opportunity to study in a country like Vietnam and in a city like Hanoi. This would probably be the best way I know how to sum up my time in Vietnam: It was all the big things such as being able to experience the Vietnamese lifestyle and the beauty of the natural Vietnamese landscape that left me in awe, yet it was all the little things such as the delicious street food around every corner and all the people I met along the way that left me in love with Vietnam!
