Japanese summer internships

Anyone have experience with interning in either S&T or IB for a bank in Japan?

I've noticed that many unis in Japan end school for summer break in late July and start in September, so I'm assuming that the internships are not the traditional 8-10 weeks. Does that mean that the internships are only 4-5 weeks long or do the students find sometime during school to come and work to fulfill the 8 weeks?

I've been wondering why anyone would even want to be a banker in Japan when all they'd need to do is move to the US or UK, and they could make twice as much as money.

You know you've been working too hard when you stop dreaming about bottles of champagne and hordes of naked women, and start dreaming about conditional formatting and circular references.
