Guess what? After a 2-week holiday back in China during the 58th National Day with family & friends, I got the opportunity to do a pre-MBA intern with a retail bank in Mauritius, thanks to my future classmate Sonal's recommendation.
The Environment - Sunny & Shiny, Spoken French & Written English (here I experienced first time at meetings where all have to speak English because I am the only 1 present with basic French). Waterfront office, beachfront house with a 1-hour trip in between, luckily I don't drive.
The Team - a Uganda girl studied in Canada, a Zimbabwe guy worked in the MD's office, and our boss brought from India his 15 years experience heading the Products & Strategy (3 other trainess from Zim & Ghana who're at different projects). So bascially we've covered all the foreigners in the bank except South Africa.
Challenges / Opportunities - New field (exciting), Emerging market in a small island country (exclusive), Communication with different parties (explicit), Inniative to improve or innovate (edgy).
People / Projects - mostly are nice & warm Mauritians and I'm learning What to say after "Bonjour", diverse projects including incentive scheme, press conference, products launch, etc. - So far, So interesting!

Mauritius is a wonderful place, but IMD's campus will be better for you.
are there some snow mountains beside the campus?
