Today was the last day of the regularly scheduled programming of site visits and classes at UEF. Time flies so fast! We first had a language class to practice basic phrases used in a market to prepare for our trip to Banh Thanh market. It was really hard to remember letters and their intonations, I…

Our day started with a trip to our beloved UEF building. There, we learned about Buddhism and how it started in Vietnam. Being Indian, I have a very good understanding of Buddhism and Buddhist teachings since some of my friends are Buddhist and Buddhism originated in India. Our lecturer kept asking me questions (I think…

We had a lineup of two site visits today, so it was prime time for my brain to soak up information like a sponge. However, it was also very, very hot at our first visit. You’d think I would have gotten used to it already, but I guess not.  Our first visit was to Kat…

Our overnight trip started bright and early: skipping breakfast because I slept without packing, and boarding our trusty bus that we go everywhere in. The drive was a solid three-ish hours, so I spent my time listening to my music and/or snoozing. We also did some karaoke in the bus, which was super fun and…

Our day started with a company visit to Glass Egg. Even before going on this trip, I was most excited for this trip because I am an avid video game fan, and even more passionate about game art and graphics. During our Plus3 interview, this visit had been hyped up so much, so I was…

Field trip day! Today started at around 6:50 in the morning when I was woken up by my roommate Olivia (I had missed my alarm). I rushed to get ready since the bus left at an early 7:45, but I made it down for breakfast at a good time so we made it work. The…

I hate to be redundant, but wow was it humid today! Not that it mattered much when we were at UEF for a very interesting lecture. Today’s lecture was about global production operations, focusing specifically on sustainability. The activities and Kahoot were, again, very fun and interactive. Lunch was at a beautiful restaurant with the…

Xin chào! Today was as knowledge-rich as it was hot! We started with a quick breakfast before boarding the bus to UEF. At UEF, we learned about the ability for companies to stay resilient in the face of adversary in the market. The lecture was interesting and interactive, and I had a lot of fun…

Today, our group spent most of our time meeting new people and uncovering new locations, a day filled with new experiences. I started with a breakfast of rice, not something usually incorporated in my breakfasts back home in America, with fresh fruit that you could not find in a grocery store in the US either….
