In the U.S., white is a color for purity; in Japan, it represents death. Red connotes danger in the U.S., but it symbolizes luck in China.

“I start to build my future career with the very first stones from Global Talent programme” In the first week, I only stayed at International Affairs office

SHARING My exchange story

and had some short talks with one or two people. They helped me to understand the company and shared with me many things about living and travelling in Nagoya.

From the second week, I went out with people in Sales department. The job of staff in Sales department is to meet customers and negotiate about the chemical products of Tsuchiya. Their main customer is Toyota and that’s the great reason why I had a wonderful internship. I had the chance to visit so many museums as well as so many plants of Toyota. Thanks to this internship, I gazed with my own eyes the incredible manufacturing process of Toyota, with lots of automatic robots. Besides, I also viewed many newest model cars of this famous group and even sat on a modern model, which is going to be used in the future. That’s about Toyota and of course, Tsuchiya didn’t connect me to only Toyota. The customers of Tsuchiya are other big groups such as Denso, Nissan, Brother, Canon etc. The more customers Tsuchiya have, the more museums, companies, factories… you can visit.

When I was small, I had a dream to visit Japan and thanks to this internship, my dream already came true. Japanese are truly hospitable and amiable, to the point my eyes often went teary receiving their kindness.
