We finally got to visit the company that Hiwot, Lili, Claire, and I are researching for this trip: The Cat Lai Terminal. I was very impressed with the terminal, considering this is just one of many of them. When we first walked into the room to listen to the company’s presentation, there was a huge…

Day 10 in Vietnam – The Famous Mekong Delta!!
Today we visited and spent the entire day at the Mekong Delta. It meant a lot coming to the Mekong Delta because this was the main place talked about in our Plus3 sessions before coming to Vietnam. The boat ride was super cool; we got coconut water when we were on our way to one…
Day 9 in Vietnam – Learning about Religion & History of Vietnam
Buddhism was a religion I was not very aware and knowledgeable about before today. I have always found religion to be an interesting topic, so learning about Buddhism today was extremely informative. Visiting the pagoda today really gave me a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s religious background. It was very cool seeing first handing Vietnamese individuals…
May 13 Vietnam – Evolving Saigon Hi-Tech Park Visit
May 13 was a day full of site visits. Unfortunately, I was unable to go to the Coherent visit in the morning, but the Hi Tech Park certainly made up for it. I think the Saigon Hi-Tech Park was extremely interesting, especially because of the amount of land the park takes up of. It is…
Weekend in Vietnam – Vung Tau Def Beats Jersey Shore!
Saturday May 11th, we went to Vung Tau Beach which was probably my favorite day so far in Vietnam. We learned so much about Vietnam’s culture but also had a very fun/relaxing day after a busy week. To start the day, we climbed up a mountain in Vung Tau. This was certainly beautiful but also…
Day 5 in Vietnam – GreenViet

Although GreenViet has had a lot of success over the years, it is pretty newly founded. I am pursuing a certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation…
Day 4 in Vietnam – Vina Capital Foundation
Day 4 in Vietnam really surprised me in the best way possible. Vina Capital Foundation was an organization that was extremely different than what I thought it was going to be like. Mr. Rad Kivette, the CEO of Vina Capital, gave an amazing presentation/explanation on his company and the inspiration behind it. One thing that…
Day 3 in Vietnam – Sustainable Energy and Language Class
Day 3 in Ho Chi Minh City was definitely not what I expected. Since I wasn’t able to go to the site visit, I’m going to talk about everything I did on Day 3! To start, some of the students decided to try Highlands Coffee in the morning. I didn’t know what to expect, but…
Day 2 in Vietnam – TTT Corporation Site Visit !!
Day 2 in Ho Chi Minh City was very insightful and I feel like I learned a lot about what factories really entail. TTT Corporation was established in 1992 and it focuses on construction, architectural, and interior design. The TTT Corporation was extremely generous for explaining what their company is and their goal for the…
