We toured the major scenic spots there and visited different government departments, social organizations and schools. I also spent the weekends with a local family. The three-week programme was closely packed but I never felt that I was rushed from here to there. Through the series of visits I have enriched my knowledge of social affairs in Britain and the educational system there. I also began to be aware of the particulars of their everyday life and was attracted by their leisurely life style. In the past I always had the impression that university life in countries like the UK and the USA is very easy. After this trip, I have learnt more about the harsher realities of studying in the UK. M r. Leung Wah-shing Why did I choose India and not countries like the UK or Australia to undertake my medi cal clerkship? It is because I eagerly wanted to understand the state of medical services in developing countries and how missionary doctors work in India. The four weeks of study was a most worth while experience. I got to know the medical facilities and the range of services available in India, as well as the types of diseases rampant in the country. During the training period, I also had the chance to work with local medical staff in villages, healing patients and teaching the villagers about hygiene and nutrition. Besides medical knowledge, I gained social work ex perience and a deeper awareness of the life and living conditions in developing countries. I befriended many local doctors and a lot of voluntary workers from all over the world. STUDENTS 26
