My Unforgettable Experience of Staying in Japan

This is a story about my first internship abroad. I chose Japan because Japan is completely different from anything I have seen before. Personally for me, Japan means harmony, peace and an ability to create. I love the balance between nature and buildings, traditions and innovations, relaxation and work.
I was told by my science supervisor and the head of the department that Japan is very beautiful, but the reality exceeded all expectations. It seems that wherever you looked, everything was stunning. Incredible mountains, huge parks, fountains and architecture . There were six of us, representing our University. I think that each of them shares my impressions.
My group came to Japan for 26 days. During this time we visited N
oto region and participated in the economic forum. Then we had internship in well-known companies, and after that worked in the laboratories of Kanazawa University. I liked both the country and the educational process.
I was lucky to have an internship at Yazaki Corporation. There I met wonderful people, who were very supportive and attentive. During this internship I gained a lot of experience related to my major. I was shown different areas of work, and I also participated in several experiments. We also visited two factories of Yazaki Corporation, which were like descended from the pages of science fiction books.
Finally, we had a two-week internship at the Kanazawa University laboratory. I met a team of professionals who were very passionate about their work. It was my first experience of working in an international team. I was inspired by these people and I want to continue working together.
All this makes the exchange program in Japan an unforgettable experience.
