Land of the Morning Calm

My internship just ended and I still cannot believe that my three months in Seoul passed so quickly. Korea was so nice to me and this internship really gave me a deeper inside look of what it means work in Asia. My host company was super friendly and I am so happy that I was placed in a marketing and advertising agency that really embraced me right from the beginning. I worked a lot in marketing and learned so much about copywriting, making client presentations, the different advertisement campaigns from video recording, model shooting and website building. I was not able to get technical knowledge in these areas as I have never done it before, but I was assisting other staff and also appeared in a local radio program on a tourist campaign we were involved.
I did tell Meiji that this is my first time in Asia and I was very nervous about how everything would go. but the accommodation, company and also the activities they organized for me were super fun! The best highlight was when I made Korean friends and we did a proper girls date and went to Lotte World for some fun in the sun and a lot of Insta pics with too many peace signs (I am really good at it now!).
One thing I do want to make other interns aware is that long working hours are the norm, not the exception. Germany is very different on this bit.
