Time of my life

I stayed in HK for 3 months and enjoyed every single day!
When I came to HK I didn't really know what was going to expect me. Of course I was a bit scared, because I was so far from home (Switzerland) and there is nobody I know. The day me and my roommate arrived Blair, the former event manager of the intern group, came to our apartment, showed us around and had dinner with us. A couple of days later we had some after work drinks and got to meet the other interns. Everybody, from the company as well as the interns, were so nice. I am very glad I got to meet all those lovely people.

My internship: I worked for an online shop in Aberdeen. It was my first work experience and I was surprised by how much responsibility my two bosses gave me. Unfortunately, they weren't always nice to me. At some point I even considered to quit. At the beginning of my internship there were two other interns as well. They also had some problems with our bosses, so we talked about the work situation with the intern group director, Krystal Lee, over dinner. She listened to our problems and then contacted our bosses. I always felt very supported by her and I am so glad I got to meet her!

Accomodation: I was aware of the fact that the apartments in HK are rather small. I just didn't imagine them to be this tiny. I lived in Wan Chai with two other interns. We had three bedrooms, a living room (with a TV, which we have never used), a kitchen and a bathroom. I was shocked when I first saw my bedroom cause in there was literally just my bed. I didn't want to stay there, but then after like 2 weeks I began to like the apartment and so I stayed there. Also the location was great.
Leisure: There is so much to do in HK. Apart from the complementary events like a trip to Macau, dinner at the peak and visiting the Buddha on Lantau Island, we went clubbing in LKF, traveled to Shanghai and Beijing on the weekends, had boat parties, went to the markets and shopped a lot. There was always something going on.

In general there is not a bad thing I can say about my experience in HK. I was so sad I had to leave and I know for sure that I will be back. I have met so many amazing people and learned a lot - not just about how a business works, but also about me. Coming to HK was one of the best choices I have ever made and I can only recommend this company.
