Day 2

May 10, 2011

Today we had a speaker come to UEF to give us a history of Ho Chi Minh City and its urban plan. It was really interesting to learn how the city changed throughout time and what the future plans are for growth, both economic and social. After we had language class again. We reviewed what we did yesterday and learned how to say how are you and to answer saying fine. 

Our company visit today was Phu My Hung, which is my presentation company. I was shocked to see how big the company and its projects are, I didn't know it was to that scale. The main basis of their projects is to create a new city center for Ho Chi Minh City because the population is currently to big for the current center. It offers a wide variety of amenities from residential housing to leasable space for offices and other companies. Currently they only have the main city center built or under construction but they have plans to expand. 

At night we went out to dinner with our new Vietnamese friends. They took us to a restaurant which specialized in this big, flat pancake that was filled with egg and whatever else you wanted. After they took us to their favorite frozen yogurt shop which was delicious as well.
