II. Details and impressions / 詳細と感想
1. The reasons I applied for this InternshipFirst, I am interested in working for a Japanese company which is expanding its business overseas andcontribute to development of both Japanese and local people.
SAGA Asia Consulting Co., Ltd. (“SAGA Asia”) supports Japanese companies in starting business inMyanmar with Myanmar staffs.
Second, I heard that SAGA Asia assigns lots of jobs and guides interns strictly.
Thus, I thought that it must be a great opportunity to learn meanings, skills and attitudes in workingabroad.

2. My experiences
 I had been assigned the following jobs:• Translating two New Myanmar law (Trade mark law and Industrial design law) from English toJapanese;• Making a report regarding import licenses and telecommunication licenses for one of SAGA Asia’sclients;• Making the presentation to SAGA Asia staffs (We chose a comparative study of EIA procedures asa topic.);• YouTube topics (I took videos of 3 topics.);
1• Reviewing the application for enforcement of Japanese arbitration award in Myanmar.
Jobs may be different depending on whether an intern is Japanese or not.
 The other experiences (They gave us opportunities the following experiences):• Having lunch or dinner with Japanese people who work in Myanmar (Employees of Japanese trading
companies and a prosecutor);• Visiting a distribution center of a Japanese company in Thilawa SEZ;
• Visiting courts.
Mr. Tsutsumi and the other staffs will kindly make opportunities for us if we ask a favor.

3. Lessons
I learned that I should have a higher viewpoint and take an active attitude.
For example, in making the internal presentation, we decided to compare EIA procedures of threecountries.
But, comparing among three EIA procedures was a mistake because we were not familiar with EIA
procedures and there was not much time to research three different EIA procedures. Thus, the contentof our presentation became for beginners while listeners included lawyers who are specialist ofMyanmar law.
I should have considered who are listeners, how many hours we can spend for our preparation and ourknowledges about the topic before researching them. We should have focused on comparison of two
EIA procedures.
In addition, when we made the report for our client, formats of our first draft was not well arranged
and sources or evidences were not clear. We could barely keep up with the work. However, this attitude
was not good.
We should have think whether the report was good or not from our client’s point of view.

4. Contribution to my future career
This internship was a great experience for my future career because I was able to work with people
who had a high goal and a high viewpoint.
From them, I learned what attitude I should take toward my work. I am sure that I can take advantageof this experience for my future work.

5. Message to students who want apply for the internship at SAGA Asia
You will feel that Mr. Tsutsumi is strict and requires interns a high standard. On the other hand, he isvery kind-hearted, considerable. If you work at SAGA Asia with an active attitude, he gives you great
opportunities to learn lots of things. Enjoy Myanmar!
