Olivier Butty, Switzerland  2001

I caught up with Olivier via our Facebook alumni site.  He is now the proud owner of Odgies Kaffé a bar in Geneva. It was great to hear that he still sees some of the friends he made in Sydney.  

"When i went to UEC i was 18 years old, so young a boy, i spent almost 7 months there, i met so many people from all over the world. It's probably my best experience i have had in my life. After classes we had a lot of activities with students and also teachers, that was great cause we could improve our english easily, after 2 months i could speak english much more fluently. I still see some of UEC students, we try to meet each other once a year and it is still like in Sydney. So thanks a lot UEC and hope to see the staff in the future."

Allen (Hung-yu Chiang) 1997-1998

Allen dropped in to visit us last week.  He studied at UEC (GV Sydney) for 4 months in 1997 then continued his one year course at Universal School of Commerce before going to Macquarie University. He now works as a duty manager at Taiwan Air Cargo Terminal in Taiwan. 

" I still have great memories of studying at UEC. My favourite memory is when Steven, my GE teacher took us to an Italian restaurant in Leichhardt."

Even after 10 years, he still keeps in touch with many friends from UEC. In fact today he is flying from Sydney to Hong Kong where he will catch up with a friend from UEC who now has a baby!
