Today started by going to UEF building to study the Buddhist religion. We conversed and learned for about an hour about the principles and the standards of Buddhism.

Day 8: Vietnam
The day today was filled with activities. First, we had to go to the port to look at all the shipping procedures and how the warehouse was organized and ran. It was very hot out, so walking outside was quite treacherous. It was still very interesting to see how the warehouse and the boats were…
Day 6-7: Vietnam
Today we went on the Mekong Delta trip. We actually got here the day before, but didn’t have to write a blog post because of the 4 hour drive. On the first day, we were allowed a little break in order to go chill in the pool. It was so refreshing in the 95ish degree…

The agenda we had today was to learn the basics of the Vietnamese language and to broadly discuss flexibility…
Day 1: Vietnam
The first day in Vietnam was very eventful. To start off the morning, we were treated to the delectable breakfast options they had in the cafeteria area (minus the ants). As soon as breakfast was over, everyone had to get in line to get sized for the tailor. The suits in Vietnam are very cheap…
