Today started abruptly with a 7:15am wake up. After a long day yesterday, this was the least fun part of the day. However, I sprinted to grab a delicious breakfast and started my day.

We began by getting on a bus to visit Medochemie, a pharmaceutical company headquartered in Limassol. Having zero data, I actually picked my head up on the ride and looked out the window a majority of the time. Most of our trip was along the coastline, which was mesmerizing. I saw huge ships, water that was the best shade of blue, and beautiful mountains. We then arrived at the facility, and learned about the supply chain of the pharmaceutical company. One of the coolest thing I learned was that none of their products are distributed in the USA. Because of the strict nature of the FDA, it does not make sense economically for Medochemie to infiltrate our market. We then traveled through their warehouse, which was very modern and high tech. The group consensus was that we would all work their because of how nice their building and office spaces appeared.

We then traveled back to UNIC and ate lunch. I can definitively say that their food is better than the eatery. Sorry Pitt. We got some chill time to relax and enjoy the campus before meeting with wargaming.net. In this meeting, we learned all about the design process behind their most popular game, World of Tanks. Mr. Saliva, our presenter, was extremely funny, and we all had a good time.
After arriving back to the hotel, everyone relaxed for a bit. I ended up making some calls to people from back home in the lobby during this time,because unfortunately, the wifi doesn’t work in my room.

For dinner, we traveled into the new city to an amazing Syrian restaurant called Sawa. With no reservation, we somehow ended up at the nicest table in the restaurant, which also had extravagantly designed seats. I got falafels as an appetizer and a lamb dish as an entrée, and enjoyed every second of it. Me and my friends were able to hang out and talk for a couple hours during and after eating, because in Cyprus it is customary to relax during meals, and there is no push for turnaround at restaurants like in the US. This lead to some great conversations, and a great night overall.
