You will take public transportation to work, try the local cuisine and quickly adapt yourself to the thrills and realities of life in China's capital city.

Breakfast will be served Monday through Friday, but lunches are on your own. Most interns will eat at their workplace or will sometimes be invited to eat out with their co-workers.
