This week has really been a blast. I've been going to trainings from 8AM - 5PM all week and meeting up with about 80 other South African "interns/trainees". Training has been pretty basic and we've been doing quite a few team competitions and presentations. Also turns out that even though SA is on IFRS, their audits are still fundamentally the same as in the U.S. - we're also frowned on for clinging to IFRS unlike the rest of the world. Just like with metric. After training sessions end at 5 Nick and I been going out with our mentors or my cousins. We had some steaks and then went to Jolly Roger's Pub the other night and yesterday we had some great steaks with my cousins at this giant indoor mall full of restaurants and a movie theater. I finally got some of that monkeygland steak sauce I've been craving.
- some other recent updates: turns out we're not going to Mauritius this weekend and we're going to Zambia instead and visiting Victoria Falls. We leave tomorrow morning and come back Monday so hopefully we'll have some unique activities out there in sunny Zambia. On a totally unrelated note, neither Nick nor I have really had any jet lag. The earliest we've ever really slept is at 11 and we're always up by 7.
- we're about to head out to meet up with some friends from training so I'll write an update whenever I get some time this weekend.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis is Palwasha, Internships Abroad Director over at http://www.GoOverseas.com. I wanted to share a opportunity to collaborate with our team. As you may know, our website is categorized by Teach, Volunteer, Study, Intern, and Gap Year programs abroad. We feature alumni reviews on every program, and give our users the ability to make informed decisions about going abroad.
We are currently looking for talented writers to write internship guides for virtually every country and city in the world. It sounds like you have the necessary experience and background to write the South Africa guide, one of the most popular pages on our website.
Writing these guides is a great way to further establish your authority on a particular country/city, get links to your website, blog, and social media pages, and help other interns on their journey abroad. I will of course send more detailed guidelines to make sure your writing process goes smoothly!
Let me know if you have any questions at palwasha@gooverseas.com, I look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Palwasha
