Comment:
Hello, I am Antoine Lachaud, 24 years old, from France. I was born in Paris but I have grown up in the suburbs. I have a master of science in Telecommunication engineering and I have a deep interest in signal processing (imaging and sound processing).
I have many hobbies, first of all I like to play piano and video games. I also enjoy watching American series and Japanese animes. I also recently developed an interest for reading (phantasy). Finally sometimes I like to go out with my friends.
I chose to do an internship in Japan because I am fascinated from an early age by the Japanese culture.

In the 1990s, France became the first tourist destination in the world.
Its architectural treasures always amaze visitors: the gigantic palace of Versailles which was envied by the courts of Europe, the Eiffel Tower in its halo of light, certainly not the highest, but certainly the more elegant, The Mont-Saint-Michel and the Loire with its castles.
Its relief and climate are very diversified: there are a lot seas where people can relax, countryside or mountains which is ideal for skiing. A lot of people are captivated by the magnificence of the temples of haute couture, the magical luxury brands of jewelry, perfume and leather goods. France has a very strong regional identity, each region has proudly boasts with traditions inherited from the geology, climate, and history to its own soil.
Gastronomy is an important part of French culture, an encyclopedia would not suffice to enumerate all the French dishes.

Having seen many anime and Japanese movies, I already knew some aspects of Japanese culture. But fiction and real life are two different things, so I was anxious to discover the Japanese way of life. Japan and France have very different cultures, so with no surprise, I suffered what is commonly called culture shock. The tatemae is a case in point. But paradoxically, this allowed me to better appreciate the Japanese society. Indeed, as I did not understand some customs, I asked about their origins and I was able to gain a deeper understanding of that culture. But what has caught my attention is the Japanese hospitality. Members of AIESEC and my colleagues were very welcoming, which made my stay a great experience.
