When Matt Wai arrived in Japan in late 2024 to begin a three-month internship with NEC’s AI drug development division, he brought with him a few preconceptions—about Japan, and about what the experience would entail. However, as he settled into life in Tokyo, his expectations were challenged—and his understanding of both Japan and himself evolved.
Taylor Mitchell arrived in Jakarta for the first time having never been to Asia before but with an open mind and a readiness to fully embrace life in Indonesia’s bustling capital. As an intern at KPMG, a global leader in audit, tax, and advisory services, she gained firsthand insights into the nuances of Indonesian business culture. Beyond the office, Taylor immersed herself in local life—exploring Jakarta and venturing into the surrounding regions to experience the rich cultural landscape firsthand.
For University of Auckland student Emilia Skelton, interning at the New Zealand China Council (NZCC) offered a valuable opportunity to apply her academic knowledge in a real-world setting while gaining deeper insight into New Zealand’s complex and evolving relationship with its largest trading partner.
