internships in asia?
Hi all.
I'm french and i'm 20.Studying in a school of engineering (applied mathematics and computer sciences major), i have to carry out an internship abroad.
I would love to find an internship in Asia, and more precisely China-HongKong-Taiwan or Malaisia.I have been learning mandarin for now 2 years, and travelled to China last summer for a month.
In your opinion, would it be possible to carry out an internship in china even if my chinese's level is basic?
Chineses in my class told me that it would be easier for me to find a internship in Taipei/Hong-Kong because of the language.
I have been looking where to apply in those countries and i'm going to send resume/covering letters.I wonder if some of you have ever carried out an internship in those countries, or even better, if your 're currently working in a company there, you may be able to tell me where i could send some additional resumes 
.
Any advice or experiences would be very helpful

Hi,
English is widely spoken and understood in Malaysia. As you know, they speak Cantonese in Hong Kong. How important is a Mandarin working enviroment for you??
We have hosted German interns and they found their internships by themselves . It's not too difficult getting an internship at a company but it will of course cost more (when air tickets are included) than if you were to intern in your home country. I think most of them only received RM500-RM800 per month (which is enough especially when combined with the study allowances they receive back home!).
Good luck!
