Meiji Internships

"My time at Meiji Internships was simply incredible! From learning important Japanese phrases to putting on a kimono, pounding mochi, enjoying traditional matscha tea and much more. Every experience was simply breathtaking. The Meiji Internships not only helped me understand Japanese culture and language, but also gave me unforgettable experiences that I will always remember.
Thanks for the nice time."

Meine Zeit an der Meiji Internships war einfach unglaublich! Angefangen beim Erlernen wichtiger japanischer Phrasen bis hin zum Anziehen eines Kimonos, dem stampfen von Mochi, dem Genießen von traditionellem Matscha-Tee und vielem mehr. Jede Erfahrung war einfach atemberaubend. Die Meiji Internships haben mir nicht nur geholfen, die japanische Kultur und Sprache zu verstehen, sondern haben mir auch unvergessliche Erlebnisse beschert, an die ich mich immer erinnern werde.
Danke für die schöne Zeit.

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.

My time in Fukuoka was amazing! The city exceeded all my expectations.
The people in Fukuoka were incredibly friendly and helpful. I always felt welcomed and had many inspiring conversations that broadened my horizons. The local food was delicious, from mouth-watering ramen to fresh seafood. I'll never forget those culinary experiences.
The natural beauty around Fukuoka was also stunning. The picturesque beaches and lush greenery were perfect for escaping the city hustle and enjoying nature's wonders.
Overall, my time in Fukuoka was enriching. The mix of cultural richness, culinary delights, and warm hospitality created lasting memories. I can't wait to come back one day and explore more of this fascinating city."

Thank you so much for connecting me with Commonwealth. I did not regret doing an internship while studying abroad, even though it made me much busier. I have to say that because of the internship, I could understand Taiwanese culture much better. My supervisor was very nice. She took me hiking and always let me know when there was an interesting talk happening in town (I got to attend a meeting where the Singaporean's former foreign administrator talked about ASEAN's stance in the cross-strait conflict.). She also took me to a networking event where I met many inspiring people working in journalism and academic fields. This also allowed me to connect with my host family in a much more profound way. I love my internship experience and appreciate the help from Meiji Internships.

I really enjoyed this experience; it was new for me to discover Asia, and Singapore served as the perfect gateway to this vibrant and diverse continent. The Meiji Internship program was a remarkable journey from start to finish. It unfolded in a swift yet comprehensive manner, taking just about 2-3 months to complete the entire process.

What truly stood out was the meticulous alignment of the company with my profile and expectations. It was a seamless fit, and I felt like I was in the right place from day one. The company not only provided valuable insights into my field of interest but also immersed me in a rich cultural environment.

The blend of professional growth and cultural exploration made this internship a holistic experience. I had the privilege of working in a dynamic international setting while also having the opportunity to explore the enchanting cultural tapestry of Singapore. The memories and lessons from this journey will undoubtedly stay with me for a lifetime.
