Charades, Pizza, Indian Birthday Party and Busca Vida

Thursday, March 15, 2012

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.
