Hi, guys!!!
Sorry, Abbas, for disappearing from blog, but i'm very disappointed that nobody else is writing here. It seems like AIESEC KG has no news and activities happening to share with us. Well, very sad...
Anyway, I think I should write about me here and tell you my story of Kyrgyz trainee.
After unlucky internship in Bulgaria, which was canceled in three months after our arrival, I had to plan something very fast and I decided to go for my second internship, so, I applied for one in Norway and i got it!!!
It was not so easy to get funds for ticket and my first month of living in one of the most expensive countries in the world, but thanks to my friends who help me that time.
Now I'm living in Oslo, Norway. It was hard time adapting to the cold weather, new people, new culture and everything, but I think I survived))). I feel OK and I need to say that I'm happy.
I'm happy because now I have an internship of my dream. I'm working in Opera Software ASA as Distribution Associate for Russia, doing a lot of work to expand Opera market in Russia.
Few words about atmosphere in the company. It's just great. I have flexible work hours, free delicious lunches every day, Friday beers (also free), more that 40 nationalities working with me, which makes my work very exciting, I learn new things and making new friends every day!
My work is related with sales, marketing, a lot of PR stuff, everything I like. We are working in teams, organizing events, contacting media people, planning activities, brainstorming ideas... It's so enjoyable and easy to work in friendly environment we have in Opera.
I have a lot of friends from AIESEC in Oslo and we organize many parties, picnics, trips and sightseeings. I never feel bored or alone here, because AIESEC people are very helpful here.
As for Kyrgyzstan, of course I miss you all and my country very much, i have a terrible homesick sometimes, but I'm trying to be strong and I know that I'm still happy to be in Norway and work for Opera. As my internship is for one year I'm supposed to go back to KG in March 2008.
For anyone who has more questions about the internships, homesick stuff, AIESEC abroad, etc. feel free to contact me here though comments or AIESEC KG, they'll provide my email address.

Good luck with internships and have a nice week!
