Abstract	The involvement of East Asia, and in particular China, in the global markets has rapidly increased over the last few decades, and universities in English-speaking countries, including South Africa are increasingly accepting students from that region into their programmes. This requires the students to not only move to a locality where foreign languages are spoken, but also to function within a completely different cultural environment. In this case study, we consider the experiences of a group of East Asian students at one university in South Africa. In view of the interconnected world that we live in, we argue that it is important for lecturers and administrators at higher education institutions to take note of these experiences, to advance intercultural understanding and support these students towards positive international experiences.
