Nur Vela Was
Prime Minister’s Scholarship for Asia, Chinese Language Study Abroad
Introduction
大家好！My name is Hine Vela, and I am currently in Tainan at NCKU taking part in the Chinese Language Exchange. I am in my second year at the University of Auckland studying a Bachelor of Global Studies, with a focus on Global Politics and Human Rights and Chinese.

I hope you all enjoy going on this journey with me as I write about my experience on this language-learning adventure!
