Hanoi-HCMC, company trip, finishing report
Hey everyone,
I flew from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City(HCMC) last Wednesday. At the airport the driver, Loc, was waiting for me to bring me to the office. At the office I was introduced to everyone and after that I could go to work to finish my report. Around 17.30 I left the office and was brought to the house of the family I was going to stay at in HCMC. I had dinner and went straight to bed after that. Going to the office right after I landed was quite tiring.
Thursday morning two colleagues took me to the Puma site. On that site a new office and factory were being built. The office was almost finished and looked really nice. The factory was also nearly finished but did not have any machines in it yet, that is not done by Royal Haskoning. Thursday afternoon I was behind my desk again working on my final report. Thursday evening I went with Marika (the woman who I am staying with) to the 23rd floor of a hotel to have a drink and enjoy the view.
From Friday to Sunday, a company trip was planned and I was so fortunate to join it. After having breakfast we went in three busses to go see the largest Buddha statue of South-East Asia. We had lunch and went on to the resort.
Saturday morning we went to see a lighthouse in the sea. We got there in little basket boats, which were like enlarged nutshells.
Sunday morning we did teambuilding games like: crawling through "Cu Chi tunnels", climbing through a spider web without touching the ropes and making three caterpillars of people in a race for the flag. I really enjoyed these days, it was a nice way to get to know all my colleagues really good and have fun with them.
Yesterday and today I have only been working in the office to finish my report. I hope to finish it in about two hours which would be a prefect timing.
Tonight I’m going to have dinner with a few of my colleagues to "celebrate" that I'm leaving tomorrow. My flight is at 17.30pm so tomorrow morning I'm going to see Ho Chi Minh City, because I didn't really have the time yet to see the city.
I really would like to thank NEDECO and Royal Haskoning for giving me this opportunity to experience working in a technical environment abroad. And off course I thank all those who read my blogs.
Bye bye!
