    • Met many people from a variety of backgrounds that gives you a lot to talk about and to learn from the others.

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I didn't really participate in the night-life but it was quite easy to socialise with other interns and there seem to be some places to go to around - bars mainly.

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were volunteering opportunities, various sports societies that you could join. You could also do something with the rest of the interns.
