This morning, we had a company visit at Saigon New Port
Corporation, which is a terminal operator and holding company in Vietnam. SNP
counts for 50% of the import-export container services in Vietnam. They have
seventeen ports strategically located throughout Vietnam, and seven ports
located in and around HCMC to interact with each other. We then took a tour of
the Cat Lai Terminal, which was where we were having the briefing already. It
was cool to see how they organize the cargo and the giant cranes that operate
there, especially when we went to the top of the control tower.
For lunch, we stopped by UEF to eat. We got iced coffee,
which was delicious. The iced coffee is so good here for some reason! For lunch
I had the usual rice with some meatballs, but also on the table were squid,
fish, and vegetables. Sometimes I wish I was like Nino, who can try everything
and usually like it. In the afternoon we had another company visit to TMA
Solutions. First, we got a briefing on the software development park in which
TMA Solutions is located. The software park was similar to VSIP except it was
smaller and only used for software development. We then went to TMA solutions
and toured the mobility solutions rooms, where we saw employees coding the
programs that are used on cell phones.
The UEF students picked us up again for dinner, and we first
went to a street-vendor to get ice cream. The ice cream was made of some fruit,
covered in some small peanuts, and tasted delicious. Next, we went to a moving,
Japanese buffet, called Hot Pot. It was such a cool set-up, where a conveyor belt with food on
it moved in front of you. You had a pot of flavored boiling water in front of
you, so you were to pick up containers of meat, fish, vegetables, and noodles
from the belt and put them in your water to cook. It was delicious, yet again!
Now we are just chilling in the rooms and playing soccer because we have an
early start tomorrow!
At Hot Pot for dinenr.
