It was so refreshing to work from the hotel today – very productive, so much cooler (and by that I mean because of the temperature) and even a little relaxing. We have created a comprehensive list of recommendations for the client…the details need a little tweaking, but I feel confident that we will be able them with a lot of their current issues.

Since the day was pretty uneventful (more heads down, work time), I will just skip to a quick story about dinner. We met with 20+ college students today (at another vegetarian restaurant, their choice not mine!) to just talk about work life, applying for jobs, the Vietnamese culture, etc etc. It was very informal and hopefully valuable to them to have the opportunity to network and discuss their ambitions with us. And of course, here are a few pictures to add some color:

My balcony, this is what I wake up to every morning =)

This is how far the restaurant was…I led the team there (after having eaten here once before) and got everyone lost…6 min of walking turned into 20…typical Reeya

Vegetarian hot pot for dinner

Trying the local brew – Hue beer – tastes like a Miller Light but slightly sweeter

Some of the students – the restaurant had no AC or fans, instead it was hotter there than outside because of the hot pot burners…

Pharmacy student – very intelligent young man, offered some great insight into the Vietnamese student culture and lifestyle

We have a long day at the factory tomorrow…so goodnight! =)
