Who am I?
My name is Dimitri, I am 19 years old French student. I like playing sports (I am a basketball player), listening to music, and I am passionate about motorcycle.
I am in my first year of technical diploma in Office Management of Small and Medium Companies, and for that studies, I have to do a two-months internship, so I decided to do it in Scotland. I found Fatbuzz, then I applied for it.
Fatbuzz accepted to hire me for two months, so I prepared my things, and came to Scotland.
What are my first feelings about Glasgow?
When I arrived at Glasgow, everything was different, from people mentality, to the flow direction on roads, passing by the different weather (I think I saw only once the sunlight).
1st picture: My first walk through the city!
The first big evolution for me was the traffic flow direction: I cross a road, I have to watch at the right, then at the left, in contrary to France. It could be dangerous for me to don’t be attentive.
Then, by coming in Scotland I was not expecting to a very sunny weather, but I thought I was going to have a good weather at least one day a week! But I did not bring French’s sunshine!
Moreover, I thought It is very tiring to walk in Glasgow because of the hilly of the city. Moreover, miles are bigger than kilometres, so when I turned on Google Maps, and I saw 1 mile, I didn’t expect to walk for 10 minutes, but it took me 20 minutes!
In addition, I wanted to play basketball, or go swimming, in the city, the only sports hall I found was perfect, I could go to play basketball, go to swimming pool, but also weight room, for 38£ per month, given that I really need to play sports, so I would have made it profit very quickly. The only problem was that I needed to have an English bank account to subscribe, and if I don’t subscribe for it, I am afraid that it will be too much expensive for me.
My first feelings are that Scotland seems very beautiful, and Scottish people look very open minded, with foreign.
2nd picture: A little walk through the street, brought me to this beautiful bridge.
I did not visit a lot of the city of Glasgow yet, because I had to adapt myself to my student life, learn how to live in a student’s room, and it took lot of time.
Despite this, I planned to visit Glasgow, with a Bus Tour for example, to discover other interesting places.
I also would like to discover Scotland, more generally: for example, by going to the famous Loch Ness, and other lakes and castles.
What about my first days at Fatbuzz ?
Then the Thursday, I begun my intern at Fatbuzz. With Yassine, we dare not enter in the office, but a staff member invited us to enter in.
We were welcomed by Kenny, the head of design. We present ourselves, our studies, and then we went to our desk, where Kenneth, a developer, asked us to resize images, for a website. It takes us two days of work.
The Monday was the International Workers’ Day, so the office was closed.

We came to the office on Tuesday, and then we worked with Yannick, the Marketing Accountant Executive, who asked us to find quotes and anecdotes for a Facebook page, of a mathematical school book. After that, he proposed us to look at different clients’ websites, to become acquainted with different clients.
I think the first part of my internship is a knowledge taking of the activity of Fatbuzz, and after, I will have other tasks to do.
My internship in Fatbuzz just begin, and I think it will be very nice, with very nice people, and I think my journey in Scotland will be very interesting, and I will improve my skills concerning my studies, and my English.
Fatbuzz Company is not like other, there are few things which make it different…
…Buzz

Buzz is the official mascot of the company, but he has other functions, the most important one are to bark at any postman who enter in the office, and help employees when they need a helping paw.
He doesn’t have a lot of spare time, but likes to play with his ball, and to go for long walks.
…The Buzzmobile

Beyond her Fiat 500 aspects, the Buzzmobile is a very competent car, with a very great look.
With her missing rim in one of her wheels, and her perfect outline, this car can drive up to 200mph, according to the local myth…
Batman has reason to worry, the new generation is here !
