When the Spanish Barcelona soccer club players walked off the stage without traditional posing with the Audi A4 S-lines cars, they also did not react to my questions in English. Well, they also couldn't speak a word in Chinese!

Any way, the whole event was a success for Volkswagen, which was eager to increase its market share in China.  All this happened during my internship in Ogilvy Public Relations Beijing Office, where I was a key group member in organizing the “Audi Barca 2007 China Tour” Program.

My name is Daniel. I am an International Studies of East Asia (China) major at the University of Washington. I have traveled around the world as a Flying Crew Chief in the U.S. Air Force but have never had the DC experience.

Risk management and Insurance

Tell us a little about yourself.

I am a senior from Peking University majoring in Risk Management and Insurance. I found my major interesting but a little self-contradictory after two years of study. The risk management has much to do with the probability and statistics while the insurance concerns empirical issues such as insurance policy and regulation.
