Review
I am Thomas Mentzer. For my 2 months of internship I came with 3 of my classmates from my school: Robin, Ismael, and Martin. They are not only my classmates but they are also my friends.
When I arrived at the airport in Palermo, I was shocked because people are lazy. They are so cool as if they never work.
The man that picked us from the airport to the apartment didn’t speak any word in English. Furthermore, when I arrived at Balestrate, I saw a beautiful view of the beach. In Balestrate, life is very different than the other city of Italia, it is poorer and I think that people work for when they want.
The apartment is also very good where we live because we have a lot of places to chill comfortably.
I feel very good here because people are very interested: for example, the boss of the restaurant next to our apartment is very friendly. Whenever we go in front of the restaurant, they say to us « hello » and if we reply, the conversation can last for 2 hours.
Moreover, life is cheaper than in France. In fact, In France, a packet of a cigarette is 8 euros and in Balestrate it is 5 euros. The difference is so big. I think that this internship helped me a lot to improve my English, I learned a little bit of Italian too and also I will improve some skills in prospection.
In the future, I think I am going to come back when I will be 40 years old for holidays with my future family to chill comfortably at the beach and to do nothing but rest.
