Today we had a cultural class on the social customs of Vietnam. We learned a lot about the normal attitudes of Vietnamese compared to other cultures around the world. After we had Vietnamese language class and we learned numbers and phrases to say to bargain at the markets.
Our company visit today was the Foreign Commercial Service. It is part of the US Consulate and aids in helping American companies export to Vietnam. It was a very informative visit and I learned a lot about the country and how business works.
Tonight we went to a dance class with the UEF students at their school which was actually a lot of fun. After, they took us to dinner and I got to ride to the restaurant on the back of my friends motor bike. It was so much fun seeing how everyone gets around in Vietnam. Then we walked around and went to the Rex Hotel which as a rooftop deck and listened to the flamenco band playing there.
