Typical Day

Hi all,

So to describe my typical day I should begin with this admission: I was incredibly fortunate to be able to get diplomatic housing in Cape Town thanks to the embassy. It meant that I lived about five minutes from the embassy. I normally arrived at the gates of the embassy around 730am and then made it through security and into the right wing of the building by 8am for the start. Emails, returning calls, and a daily meetings usually ate up the hours till lunch which was around noon. The afternoon was more of the same as well as contacting new companies and creating contacts with various associations to get at their members lists. We generally finished up and went home between 430 and 5pm. Thanks to the World Cup being on at the same time, after work I had plans nearly every night. That about wraps up the average day at my summer internship.

Cheers,
Thomas
