2nd day


Day 2 was an exciting one because it was our first company visit. We of course started the day off with some amazing breakfast food, some noodles, beef, and fried rice. Today was much hotter than yesterday especially because we were on the bus for long periods of time and the air conditioning is not the best. UEF and language class was really fun. Our teacher is so energetic and keeps us very engaged. The language is certainly hard but the students are not only patient but very nice and helpful. We learned greetings today like how to say how are you and what is your name. Pronunciation and situation is very important in the Vietnamese language. 
Our first company visit Phu My Hung which was absolutely amazing. First off it was really fun and interesting to be in such a professional and business setting. It sounds ridiculous but being exposed to this kind of setting allowed me to appreciate why I am a business major, that is the kind of stuff I want to do in the future.  The students came with us which was nice. We were briefed about the most ingenious company. The company essentially created a high class lifestyle in Vietnam filled with malls, restaurants, residence buildings, recreation centers, hospitals, car dealerships; they thought of everything for needs and luxury. The company gets major investments from countries and companies and then they take back the buildings and make a lot of money by giving leases. Essentially, when the building or project starts to make profit, they tell them it is theirs and take all the money. It was so fun and I cannot wait until tomorrow. This trip is a perfect balance between free time and business, I'm very happy here. I do miss my family, love you mom, dad, and elan.
