Club Lights

Following into a routine we started our morning with a quick breakfast and then taking a bus to the two classes at UEF. HOWEVER, this time we stopped at a Chinese temple first, you who would have guessed in Vietnam, which was really cool. The entire courtyard was huge with a giant tree in the center providing a canopy of leaves over the whole place. It was not unlike many Chinese pagodas with the Buddha statues and the incense burning which we got to participate in. There were also turtles.



Language class was entertaining as usual and the culture class was a lot more dry but interesting to listen to. Lunch was really good as it usually is and then we were off to our second company visit of the trip.

Probably the coolest tour of the trip, Glass Egg Digital Media proved to be a really fun time. The CEO, Phil Tran, was a refugee from the war and then came back and made it big. As game developers, Glass Egg sells 3D art to other game developers and does very well in the outsourcing section. Almost everyone in the office looked as if they were in the twenties and somewhat enjoying their job.

For the night life, we ate at a Korean BBQ style Vietnamese BBQ that proved to be one of the best dinners so far. Cooking a chunk of salmon turned out to be really hard in the end and much a mess had to be made before it was finally to be eaten.

What really made the night stand out was our trip to Lush, a night club owned by Glass Egg ironically. Because we went to the parent company, the manager comped most of our drinks and that was just wonderful. I spent most of my time on the dance floor busting moves with everyone else. It was really awesome to just get pumped up to the music and have a great time with everyone else. Dan somehow got stickers all over his body and was swagging it out pretty hard. For a night where no one got that drunk, we had a blast.
