The second day… The wake up was a bit earlier. We had to get ready to our first presentation in front of our host company: “Adaptative Technology Inc”. Our host families drove us to their headquarter at 9:00. 5 persons cheerfully welcomed us. We recognized 3 of them. They shared our table yesterday in launch. We timidly started our presentation. Some parts were missing. But, it was a first real attempt of it. Then we exchanged some points with “our dear company”. Every one of them tried to improve some points. Well, we hadn’t got to change the thread of our presentation but we got to highlight the points that we had neglected. The conversation was very fruitful. Our second attempt to present was obviously better. At 11:30, our coaching company’s member invited us to a Mexican restaurant in Christiansburg. There, we talked more about Adaptative Technology Inc when eating a very tasteful meal. Our meeting with Adaptative Technology Inc ended there. Well, it is an opportunity to thank them through these words.
The afternoon seemed to be very entertaining. It was a nice discovery of a huge campus with outstanding sports facilities worthy of a professional club. The biggest surprise was a 65 000 places football stadium: The Lane Stadium. We had a detailed presentation of it before going for a short tour in downtown.
Meanwhile, an earthquake hit Blacksburg and other places. All the media talked about it, but strangely we just didn’t feel it.
The day ended with a very lovely dinner with our host families. It was another opportunity to get to know more each other. Then, we just went to sleep. It was a quite a tough day before leaving to Roanoke the next day.
