Experiencing Asia after your Internship, China, Thailand and four more!\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

You can\u2019t just have an internship abroad and not travel the country you were in and its surroundings; it would be a huge mistake. Because we want you to get the most out of your internship, we give you a list of places you must visit and things you must do in the near Asia after you finish your internship. Whether you’re interning at Thailand or China, all these countries are near you, and they\u00a0definitely deserve a visit\u00a0now that you’re so close. We\u2019ll be assuming you\u2019re interning in China, and we\u2019ll start from there working our way to Thailand. For those interning in Thailand that wants to try this route, consider doing it backward.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s your list, happy traveling!<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

China<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

China\u2019s most famous attraction is without a doubt the Great Wall. However, most of the time people skip it due to a number of tourists or how far it is which is basically the reason there are so many tourists in Badaling Juyong Pass, the closest areas. We recommend you to travel a bit more to Mutianyu or Jinshanling, it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n

\"intern<\/p>\n

Along with the Great Wall, Forbidden City is a common tourists\u2019 stop. As they say at Conde Nast, and from experience, we recommend you to visit it from the North Gate, where the emperor\u2019s and their staff actually lived.<\/p>\n

\"Internship\"internship<\/p>\n

At last for China we\u2019ve got a bit of art, some of it really old and some really contemporary. Go and see the Terracotta Warriors to admire such amazing and extensive piece of ancient art. Also, visit the Moganshan Lu gallery district, where China shows how great they\u2019re at this.<\/p>\n

Nepal<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Visit Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest stupas in Nepal and in the world. It is also one of the most important stupas of Nepal. We recommend visiting it at is busiest times.<\/p>\n

\"internships<\/p>\n

See the holy monkeys at the Swayambhunath Stupa and light a candle for good fortune. A.K.A. the Monkey Temple, the stupa offers a great view and the opportunity to light five candles to wish good fortune for someone else at its monastery.<\/p>\n

India<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"internships<\/p>\n

Go to Varanasi, India\u2019s holy city, and purify yourself with water from the Ganges River. For health reasons we don\u2019t recommend to bathe or swim in it, but if you still want to get the blessing, sprinkling water in your head is equivalent for some.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"internships<\/p>\n

Ride on a Tuk-Tuk. Riding on a tuk-tuk will give you a true sense of India; you\u2019ll be living India\u2019s traffic. In the tuk-tuk you\u2019ll see, feel and hear everything around you. It\u2019s a must to do, if not, you never went to India.<\/p>\n

Bhutan<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Internships<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a place in Punaca, Butan called Chimi Lhakhang in honor to Chimi. The whole town thanks Chimi for blessings and saving he did. Light yak candles for fertility there, and after perform a small and simple two-stepped ritual with a monk.<\/p>\n

\"Internships<\/p>\n

Climb, or at least see from afar, the Tiger\u2019s Nest. Built around a cave where the guru meditated, it got this name because of him. The legend says he introduced Bhutan to Buddhism, and that he gon a tiger\u2019s back, hence the name.<\/p>\n

Myanmar<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"Internships<\/p>\n

Visit the gorgeous Kandawgyi Gardens. With its view to the lake, its tower and the more than 400 types of flowers and trees, it\u2019s like nothing you\u2019ve ever seen before. It\u2019s so big that you\u2019re advised to cycle through it.<\/p>\n

\"internship<\/p>\n

Go to Burma and try it’s spicy and sour flavors. On its street markets or its restaurants, the spicy and the sour are the main flavors of the food. We invite you to take a walk through its streets, and we don’t just dare you to try them, but to identify them, too.<\/p>\n

Thailand<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"elephant-bathing<\/p>\n

The first thing we\u2019d urge you to do here is bathed an elephant! Elephants are a very important part of the Thai culture, so this is a unique experience you wouldn\u2019t want to miss while being there. Also, this is a great alternative to riding an elephant.<\/p>\n

\"internships<\/p>\n

Watch the sunset from Wat Phrathat. This is not just another amazing way to connect with Thailand\u2019s nature, but also the opportunity to visit Chiang Mai\u2019s holiest shrine, another very important thing in Thailand.<\/p>\n

\"intern<\/p>\n

Last but not least, give an offering to Wat Sri Soda. Buddhism is incredibly important in Thailand even for those who may not appear to be really devoted. It wouldn\u2019t just be a way to truly experience the culture, but a way to thank the country for being a home to you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
