A blog series about my in-country assignment to Makassar for IBM Corporate Service Corp.
Pizza!
That's what we had last night, after almost a week of eating Indonesian
Food. My tongue is literally on fire! But we also had chocolates and
(they) had alcohol.
It
was a productive day yesterday, I think. We had a meeting with the Vice
President of the Local Hospital. At first he was pretty upset because
we came without interpreter. What really surprised me is that not a lot
of people in the island do know/recognize IBM. They always associate the
brand with computers and machines. I know I am not the most techie
person but I am working for IBM, and I am proud! We have to explain that
IBM also does consulting services and we are volunteers who want to
help their hospital to Go Green - or should I say Go Greener.
Before
the meeting we tried to understand the hospital's organizational chart.
It was fun doing charades and trying to understand functions with the
help of Muslim employees of the hospital.
