Having learned numerous facts and figures about the emerging markets theoretically during the previous semester, 26 students and two lecturers from the ZHAW had the opportunity to get a live insight to China’s and Vietnam’s economy, culture and their way of doing business within the fast moving environment. This sounds like an easy trip – […]
After a short night of sleep we had to get up early to catch the bus to the Mekong Delta. Our departure was delayed by a few minutes because of an issues with the Air Conditioning. Our tour guide promised to get there save and sound without any further issues. A promise he could not […]
For the last day we arranged three visits, which meant, that we had to stick to our tight schedule for the day. Having left the hotel on time, we arrived at the Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) after an hour bus drive. We were warmly welcomed by Mr. Binh who is part of the marketing […]
After some relaxing days in the very north of Vietnam, we transferred to Ho Chi Minh City, which is located in the south of the country. The mild and much more comfortable climate in the south is a nice change to the otherwise steamy and hot climate in Hanoi and was much appreciated by the […]
After Hanoi our next, very much anticipated destination, was Sapa. We were told that the drive would last 4 hours, but it ended up taking 6 hours (through which most of us slept through, fortunately). We started to realize that time management was no strength of our Vietnamese tour guide, which could have been influenced […]
After a pleasant flight from Hong Kong, we were looking forward to exploring a new country. At the airport we had some time to exchange our money and suddenly all of us were millionaires, since the exchange rate for Swiss Francs to Vietnamese Dong is around 1 to 22’000. We divided our group into two […]
After spending some time in the older and more traditional part of China, many of the group members couldn’t await the arrival in the – let’s call it – animated Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong is seen as one of the most advanced cities in the world, it’s not exempted from logistical problems. In addition to the […]
After having dedicated the previous day to the city’s history, we now returned to our major. We started by visiting ‚Xi’an Hi-tech Industries Development Zone’ (XHTZ), one of the most successful amongst the Chinese national high-tech zones. The tour through the exhibition of their future projects was spectacular (light show on a model of the […]
After a night occupying our train wagon physically as well as acoustically we arrived in Xi’an. Most of us imagined Xi’an to be a small city – a chance to get some rest between Shanghai and Hong Kong. They were wrong. Our guide Ivy made that pretty clear when she told us about the political […]
The last day in Shanghai started with some heavy lifting. Luggage was packed and gathered in the hotel lobby, which ended up being open to exhibition for quite a while, since the local bus driver seemed to be unfamiliar with Shanghai’s morning traffic. Overall, the concept of time seemed to be not very well understood […]
