On Friday morning we visited a plant that Intel just built in Vietnam that hasn't even started producing yet (they will sunday). It wasn't very interesting to see the production lines since they were empty, but it was cool to see the facilities and learn about what went into planning to build the new site, actually contracting local workers, and setting up the factory so that it could begin producing.
We visited a nonprofit organization that works with farmers in the Mekong Delta who are CoCoa farmers, by teaching them the best/most efficient ways to grow the plants. It was interesting because I had no idea how much work went into getting fermented cocoa beans...or that they even needed to ferment and dry before they were even chocolate-y.
