Home sweet home ^^

It felt so strange and at the same time so familiar having the chance to experience my internship abroad in Singapore right from the comfort zone of my home! The best thing was that I was scheduling my weekly workload freely to adjust my studies at uni. My host company was a Singaporean startup, which was very international but did not have any experiences with previous interns. That's why it came so handy that Meiji assisted with prearrangements in terms of concerns and worries that me and the host company had. However everything went on with a smooth start, except of the different "English" we spoke! I was completely unaware that there is a creol language called Singlish, which is very much English but then again not at all (especially when they speak quick) haha

Most of the important communication was done through Slack and other project management tools they were using. So there was little room for misunderstandings when it came to very important workrelated tasks. I have to say that when you work with Singaporeans you will soon find out that they prefer to be direct when addressing problems and I have learnt that very quickly. Get out of your comfort zone and make sure to raise any questions you might have.
