Today we went to UEF and had cultural class and language class. In culture class we learned a brief history of the country which definitely gave insight into why and what the Vietnamese act like. Then in language class we mostly reviewed and learned a few new phrases and questions.
In the afternoon we went to Glass Egg Digital Media which is an outsourcing video game company. They are hired by video game producers to produce cars, environments, and characters for the game. They are not responsible for writing any of the game just the art involved with developing the objects. The company started when the now CEO was assigned to work on the case of a leading gaming company while interning in a law firm in Vietnam. He then got involved with the company and was given the responsibility to open a branch in Vietnam. However it fell through and he bought what remained of the company and started Glass Egg. Today they have many very skilled employees. Every year 40 artists are trained for the job and only two are hired.
At night we went to Lush because the owners of Glass Egg also own Lush so they called ahead for us and got us a VIP table which was a lot of fun. While we were there we also got to talk to the manager of Lush and see how he got involved.
