Good morning everybody,

How are you doing today? It's summer in our hemisphere — at least that's what the calendar says. Where are you spending your holidays? Are you travelling abroad? What are you favourite summer activities? (apart from learning English of course)
Let's talk...

I don't have other plans to travel because of my money institute unfortunately is close to close my account ... nevertheless I have to work on a new project which will gobble up all I have saved.

Hi Naufragis,

So you are going to Paris — have you got any specific sight seeing plans? Is this your first trip to the French capital? How are you travelling, by car, coach or plane? What about your new project — is it your training program in Scotland? As for me, summer is a good season to spend in Leipzig, I might leave the country for a couple of days though...

hello torsten,

yes, for sure spending your summer in leipzig can be very delightful, indeed.
everyone else is abroad, just a few left and if the weather becomes more summer-like it might be relaxing.

you're right: it's my first visit of the french capital - I've never been there before. I insist of visiting the Centre d'Pompidou - you know, it's the Museum of Modern Art there - other sightseeing is in hands of my friend - to my surprise...

Hi Torsten

I am so sorry for not posting any topic on this forum as I am so busy and too lazy Rolling Eyes

.

Now I will try on.

I have just has summer holidays on beach. It was very funny. All I had to do is bathing, sleeping and eating. Nothing worries me. Wink

I felt relaxed.

Now I had to be back to my work. It is a lot of work. I don't know how to start Crying or Very sad

.

Anyway, I am eager to work after happy, relaxing days. Laughing

Torsten · Tue Jul 20, 2004 8:50 am *Starting an activity*

Dear Nguyen,

Thank you for sharing your latest news with us. I know exactly what you mean by saying you are lazy: sometimes it is hard to start an activity and it takes a great effort to do so. That's why we are here to share our ideas. We all face the same difficulties once in a while.
May I ask you where you are from? Judging by your name I would say you are Vietnamese. Is that correct?

Torsten · Tue Jul 20, 2004 12:36 pm *Business contacts?*

Dear Nguyen,

So now you have an open conversation — I'm glad you brought up a number of interesting questions about the forum. Looking at our members list I guess there are a few people from Asia, some of them from Vietnam like you. I also have a very good friend — his nickname in the forum is «Walter», he is organizing business exhibitions in Vietnam. The idea is to bring Vietnamese and German companies together. As you know the Vietnamese economy is growing at a tremendous rate whearas in Germany we are facing a recession. That's why there is huge potential in re-activing the business contacts that have been in excistence between East-Germany and Vietnam for decades.
So, another topic in our forum could be international business contacts. By the way: What company are you working for?
Yes, at this point only a few forum members are active — this will change over the next few months.

Dear Mr Torsten

It seems to me that the topic about international busness contacts is too wide. I don't know how to start. Coud you recommend some ideas?

By the way, I work for a joint - venture, which manufactures wire harness for automobiles and motorbike. Do you know it? After I worked 3 months, I just knew what is wire harness. So maybe you don't know about it.

Your friend is in Hanoi or in Hochiminh? I am living in Hanoi. Do you know it? It is very nice though it is noisy, crowded and polluted like other cities in the world.

Torsten · Wed Jul 21, 2004 14:03 pm *Business contacts in Hanoi*

Hello Nguyen,

You have already started to talk about possible business contacts. You work for a joint-venture, could you please tell me its name? What country is the partner company based in? Do you export your products or do you sell them on the domestic market only?
As for my friend - he is German and has been working with his Vietnamese partner for a couple of years. You probably know that East Germany has had a very strong economic relationship with Vietnam. Now, my friend is organizing meetings for German companies that want to find partners in Vietnam. In November they travel together to Hanoi. If you like I can give you more details.
