Our second full day in Vietnam was a long one. Language classes are definitely my favorite part so far but its still early. The teacher is so up beat and funny and makes us speak Vietnamese into a microphone in front of the class which is fun. We visited Phu My Hung Corporation which is nothing like anything in the United States. Basically Phu My Hung leased a large amount of land from the Vietnamese Government and developed it into land suitable to rent to other businesses and people. Their compound is amazing and they are only done with part 1 of 5 seperate parts. They have four districts within in their "park" and each district has everything a person would need to live within a ten minute walking distance.
On our third day we had 2 company visits and then a visit to one of the largest banks in Vietnam. We got a tour of II-IV which is an engineering company that makes optics and thermoelectrical equipment. The compound was very surprising because we got to see everything being hand made. There were literally workers sitting in rows physically putting their products together. After we got back to the hotel we decided to explore the area around our hotel. We went to some shops around the city and bought a bunch of different things. Within the next few days we are planning to go to the main market here in Ho Chi Minh City which I am very excited for!
