I started my first business trip early in the morning. It was still dark outside and a little rainy. The driver came on time, but I was faced with some sudden changes in the plan. Furthermore, we lost a lot of time when there was this traffic jam, so that we came late to the meeting. When we arrived in Hai Phong the meeting has already started and Mrs. Reyer was explaining her presentation. Without any break I started to translate and with my Vietnamese, which is far from perfect, I had some problems to find geological terms. Nevertheless, I still could complete my task with the help of my other two collegues. The meeting was continued in the afternoon. The main topics were waste water and water management. And the Vietnamese partners were very interested, so that an active discussion started. For lunch as well as for dinner we were invited by the Vietnamese partners. In the evening we were conceived in the guest house of the city Hai Phong — very noble with good service, but the food was quite bad (mostly European). So that was my first experience in business trips.
