My Internship Experience in a new land
Ratings
Review
I had a few things I wanted to do during my holiday, do an internship, Travel, Try new food.
So I decided to apply for international internship programs, I wanted to do an internship related to my schooling and was given so many choices and couldn’t decide what country I wanted to do my internship in. I was very interested in two destinations Japan and South Korea. It came down to a flip of a coin.
South Korea was my destination for my escape for the holiday. I landed in Korea and was shocked by how colorful everything was. The people really understood how to express themselves by the cloths they wear. I now understand why Korea is the street wear capital of the world.
The Food was a downer for me, I didn’t enjoy most of the food around. But here are some of the things I would recommend, Galbi, Soondubu Stew, Haemul Pajeon and Korean BBQ.
My internship lasted for 3 months and I’ve had bad days and great days, the biggest problem for me was the language barrier and ordering food was a difficult challenge at the start. But the people I was working with during my internship helped me and assisted me through out my stay there. I learned a lot during my time in Seoul and I’m planning to go back there when I graduate.
Side note: I actually go to NUIG but that option wan't available to select. when leaving his review.
