Exploring Japan: A Cultural Journey Through My Meiji Internship in Fukuoka

I had the incredible opportunity to participate in a 4-week internship at Meiji in Fukuoka, Japan. During my stay, I immersed myself in Japanese culture through various enriching activities. I joined a traditional tea ceremony, wore a classic Kimono around the town, and explored local temples, which deepened my appreciation for Japan's rich heritage.

Japanese everyday life amazed me with its harmonious blend of modernity and tradition. I admired the politeness of the locals, their efficient transportation system, and the meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of daily living.

Fukuoka's cuisine was a culinary journey in itself. I indulged in Hakata ramen originating from here, fresh sashimi, and unique street food like mentaiko (spicy cod roe). Every meal was an explosion of flavor, reflecting the region's diverse gastronomic heritage.

Overall, this internship was a profound cultural experience that left me with cherished memories and a newfound admiration for Japan.
