It was my first experience in Asia which I consider extremely eye opening. It showed me a side of Asian culture I had taken for granted by emerging into their culture, eating traditional food everyday, visiting temples and historic sites, and just experiencing the everyday life. Architecture Internship in Paris, France Paris, France - Summer-Fall 2015 For six month I have been interning in the Agency of Frederic Borel in Paris, France. Interning for one of the best known architects in france and working one to one with him everyday changed the way a think about architecture. Working in both a conceptual level and detail scale simultaneously, which taught me the importance of never losing the art in architecture and functionality in construction.
