2nd class meting

Today we had our 2nd class meeting prior to the trip. Students from the class gave presentations on each of the three countries we are visiting. We learned about Dos and Don'ts that we should follow in each country as well as additional cultural and historical information on each county. Highlights from these presentations were:
  • A proposal for reducing congestion and pollution in downtown Saigon
  • An up-to-date report about the political turmoil in Thailand between the red-shirts and the yellow-shirts
  • And a overview of the relative simplicity of starting a business in Cambodia from an outside investor's perspective.
A 4th group is working on an in-depth marketing study for Saigon Cosmetics in Vietnam and presented their research findings to date.

After class, many students consulted with each other on their post-trip plans. Everyone is looking forward to the trip.
