Taguspark
Waking up to go to Taguspark was difficult. Waking up any day is difficult for me but the time zone difference in addition to jetlag made it even more difficult. I woke up earlier so I could start my day of
f with the complimentary breakfast but soon would be very disappointed. I got downstairs and was expecting a familiar breakfast, but instead found semi-cooked bacon, under-cooked eggs, warm juice, watery yogurt, warm fruit, and strange bread. That would be the last time I woke up early to eat there. After breakfast we got onto the bus and went straight to Taguspark. We were warmly welcomed and then brought up a few flights of stairs to a large conference room. Once in the room we all sat down and watched a video on Taguspark. When that was finished three men talked to us about their successful operations, and goals of their business. After that we went to the mall because we had a break before we visited Microsoft. The mall was really nice. James and I went to McDonalds for lunch. It was really good but it had unique taste to it. It was different than McDonalds in the United States, yet, still enjoyable. After lunch we walked around the mall for a bit, browsing in and out of stores just because we had some time left. There ended up being a grocery store inside of the mall, which is not normal back home
, but very convenient because I did need to pick up a few things. Time flew and we were back at Taguspark. We then visited Microsoft. For me, that was the most interesting part of the day. They gave us a tour of their offices and explained what they did and what their goals were. We got to see a room called the “language lab” they explained how they were inventing things today that will be coming out ten years from now! Overall it was a productive day; it was interesting to see how all the companies work together in a centrally located science and technology park.
