From the end of No­vem­ber to the end of De­cem­ber, I had the op­por­tu­ni­ty to tra­vel to Shang­hai for work and sup­port the IT de­part­ment the­re. Af­ter ar­ri­ving and mo­ving into my apart­ment, I was able to gain my first im­pres­si­ons of the city.

Shang­hai im­pres­sed me with its size, mo­dern ar­chi­tec­tu­re, and the high le­vel of di­gi­ta­liza­ti­on in ever­y­day life. The con­trast bet­ween tra­di­tio­nal ele­ments and mo­dern de­ve­lo­p­ment made the city par­ti­cu­lar­ly interesting.

Du­ring my stay, I work­ed in the IT de­part­ment and was in­vol­ved in va­rious tasks. This al­lo­wed me to gain va­luable in­sights into work pro­ces­ses and fur­ther de­ve­lop my skills. One high­light of my stay was vi­si­ting the Au­to­me­cha­nika trade fair, whe­re I was able to see many in­te­res­t­ing in­no­va­tions and technologies.

What stood out most to me was the team in Shang­hai. My col­le­agues were very fri­end­ly, sup­port­i­ve, and al­ways wil­ling to help, which made it easy for me to sett­le in and feel com­for­ta­ble in the new en­vi­ron­ment. The co­ope­ra­ti­on wi­thin the team was con­sis­t­ent­ly positive.

Over­all, my stay in Shang­hai was a very en­ri­ching ex­pe­ri­ence, both pro­fes­sio­nal­ly and per­so­nal­ly. I am gra­teful for this op­por­tu­ni­ty and will take away many po­si­ti­ve im­pres­si­ons and las­ting memories.
