I've went for a prior briefing to our Industrial Training Programme. This has been around in SP for years, and it's compulsory for every student if you wanna graduate. It will be for 8 weeks!

In my course, there are local or overseas ones.

Local: Hospitals, research labs, research companies, Biopolis!, and other research institutes
Adv: There're chances whereby they really appreciate the partnership and call the student up for empolyment after graduating. In other words, one can save the trouble for seeking jobs.



Overseas:

Thailand [A uni or a BIOTEC-- An established agro research institute]

Adv: The cheapest of them all. My cher say we can live like a king. The people are very nice, take good care of us.

Disadv: Ulu, mosquitoes?, super congested traffics, scared of the food there ><
Cost: S$ 1000 max (tt's w/o subsidies. The final payment would be less than $5o0)


Shanghai [A research institute]

Adv: Developing, bustling city, fabulous food and shopping! (hey, we have time for it too), Heard that this shanghai one is special as the institute subsidies a lot of $$, so much so we can actually have abt S$100 to spend! People treat the students well too.

Disadv: I would only consider if my shanghainese mate is joining me. There's no way i can survive there in the winter without knowing the roads and way of life. Scared kanna con. ><

Cost: ~$2500 ( but should be less than $500 too if the info from my fren's senior is reliable)



Australia [Flinders' University , Melbourne uni (pending)]

Adv: I have friend who's a Flinders-to-be in January, and my family knows their family since i was born, before they migrated there. It's so coincidental for them to live there. I've asked the girl, and she said her dad is Ok to put me up for my ITP. Heyhey~ Accomodation and perhaps food settled as the two Dads can discuss abt the cost to pay for me. So everything would be better to have people to depend on esp when i need help +)

Disadv: The expenses lor.. ><
Cher say, in Thailand you can live like a king, in Shanghai you are not bad, in Australia, you can.. survive.
The things there are ex, so i will need $$. And cher oso say, in Thailand you are pampered, in Shanghai you live well, in Australia, they leave you to yourself.

Aiyo...
What should i choose??

Cos if im taking local, i'll prefer to do it in Sep, our 1st vacation. If i want to do overseas, i'll have to wait for the second holiday in Jan 09. Sep is not far from now, so have to think about it properly and have a gauge of which is my choice.

Well, i've talk to Dad, looks like he's into Australia and Shanghai (like daughter like dad or is it the other way round) He say it's up to what i choose. He supports anything, and what i find it amazing was, he told me not to worry about the cost! Wow.. incredible.
But that means i really have to decide on my on..


What do you think? Gimme some suggestions pls..
