Day nine: Glass Egg Digital Media


So in the morning on Tuesday we had our traditional Vietnamese history and language classes at UEF. For the history class we learned about Vietnamese culture, the classroom was very warm today so everyone in the group was lacking energy. We learned about how to approach Vietnamese people and the polite mannerisms to utilize. In between history and language we all got coffees at the canteen.
            In language class we had another fun day. I was used for examples many times. The class has been getting progressively better because we are learning more and more words which we have all been using while in town. For lunch we ate at the canteen, the food is definitely starting to get repetitive but its still good.  
            In the afternoon we had a company visit to Glass Egg Digital Media. We met with Phil Tran and Steve Reid the CEO and CFOs’ of the company.  First we received a tour around the facility, which was essentially upwards of 100 people on computers doing stuff that I don’t understand at all. They specialize in designing cars for video games. We then received what would typically be a business presentation to a potential customer then were given the chance to ask questions. The stories of the owners and how the company works and operates were extremely interesting to me.
