This week was our first week undertaking our internship. With any job it is there’s a mixture of excitement, tentativeness and after all the sightseeing a great deal of trend in now having to spend time working again.
My first impression upon arriving at Schmitt and Orlov an intellectual property law firm which will be interning for is that it was a quiet office. Everyone was nice but really shy at first to approach me and speak and visa versa.
Once I logged on to the offices Skype community a whole different environment takes place. An influx of personal welcome messages and general inquiries of where I’m from bombarded my screen. It was really cool.
This week’s highlights
1. Great Wall
We were lucky enough to see and walk the Great Wall in decent weather conditions. The older interns went in winter and recounted how the stairs were covered in ice. So if you are coming over during winter make sure you check the weather conditions before hand. You really don’t want to try to walking on icy steps.
2. Summer Palace
The Summer Palace was definitely a highlight of all the sightseeing we have done so far. There is so much to see and do. The design of the palace includes a huge lake and temples, bridges and pavilions with hilltop views.
There are also strips of shops and places to eat along the river when you first enter, rocks you can climb and carefully take selfies. What was really cool was hiring out a boat going around the lake.
3. Hanging in Sanlitun
Popular nightlife area.
