Day 3

We started off the day by visiting VSIP, Vietnamese Singapore Industrial Park. We took pictures of the models of the different park sites. During our meeting we learned about the history of each site and their purpose and some plans for the future.We then toured the site to see some of the businesses inside VSIP.

After the tour, our meeting with VSIP was done but we stayed inside the park to visit II-VI. The chief engineering gave us a very informative tour around the building. He gave us the ins and outs of the optical technology that they were working on. Even though it reminded all of us of physics (which we all hated by the way) it was still pretty cool. Don't ever want to hear about newton rings ever again though.

Came back to the hotel for a quick lunch. We ate fast and headed to the co op to pick up some snacks. IT's unreal how cheap everything is. You can get a 5L bottle of water that's worth around 50 cents! We went to UEF for our last meeting of the day with a commercial adviser. He talked to us around taking advantage of opportunities for living/working abroad.

We had the rest of the day to ourselves after for the first time on the trip. Me and a few others headed up to the pool to chill for a little before we headed out to dinner with some of the UEF students. They picked us up and took us to BBQ Garden. The food was really good. After dinner we decided to walk back to the hotel which gave us some more experience crossing streets in Ho Chi Minh.
