The schedule for my internship is settled and although it is only 1 week – 5 days – the program is including so many different things that it could be enough content for a whole month. Besides the language barrier, the culture shock and the differences in the publishing industry I am checking out 4 different parts of the publishing sector so that should keep me busy for a long time even after the internship is finished.Well, the travelling during that week is gonna be fun as I am already giving out my complete money for the subway with about 800 Yen a day and travelling to Yokohama and back again… Whatever, unless I have money left over for some food it is okay.
I got the whole schedule for next week roughly shortend and pasted some links so that you can check their homepages and get some better images of what I am talking about.
