Internship in Wenzhou in June 2010

Hello everybody!
It's ok I know where I'm doing my internship starting from June 2010: it will be in WenZhou, a city in the south of ShangHai, far from 483 km. It is a company dealing with photovoltaics.
The boss sounds cool, he's French. There are already 30 sthg people at the office: one French tahitian guy and the others are all women! One of my classmates will also be there with me, at the end there will be 3 guys...
We'll speak English there, but of course I hope I will improve my Chinese too!
We have to define our internship subject ourselves! This will be a real challenge!
In terms of logistics, they'll give us accomodation, and also the lunch I think (taken all together)! Ok, that's all for the moment!

Take care!

What I'm currently doing

Maybe not everybody understood, or it's been a while I didn't talk to you. Anyway, this message is to put everything clear about my "working" situation: in fact... I don't have a job yet ! haha !
Ok I was just kidding, in fact I'm continuing the studies during 1 year, with an advanced master degree from Mines Paristech (Paris, France), called "advanced master in international energy management". So it's not an Ms, like 5 years after A-level, but it is some 6 years level diploma (between Master degree and Ph.D).
This post-master degree is held by several educational partners among INSA de Lyon (France), University of Tsing Hua in Beijing (China). Some courses will also take place in the AGH University of Science and Technology of Krakow (Poland).
That is why we are moving a lot from town to town: 3 months in Sophia-Antipolis (Mines Paristech "energy and process annex), in South-East of France, near Nice (so beautiful city), 1 month in Paris, 1 week or 2 in Poland, 3 months in Beijing. And at last, a 6-months internship.

You may say, this program is awesome ! But usually post-master degree are costly ! How much does it cost ? Answer : 0 euros ! I'm exagerating, because of course, we have to pay the eating for everywhere, and also the accomodation in Sophia and Beijing. But for Paris, Krakow, Lyon ? And all the travellings? What about the teachers? They don't come to do some volunteer work here ! The answer is in fact the key to be admitted to this selective program : the industrial partner !
Indeed, the company finances all the tuitions fees of this program, in exchange, the student will do a 6-months internship. I can tell you that finding this partner is not a piece of cake, above all during the crisis ! And there is no much place for the 40 something students who are eligible to this program: only 13 this year.
Voilà, I was admitted, and I'm very happy with this. Questions: Can we say that the student of this master have some common characteristics? like perseverance ? stinginess ? love of travelling ? openness to strangers ?

That's all folks !
