Starting from Leipzig was the capital city of Indonesia via Singapore to Jakarta. Our tour group of 30 degrees and sultry warm weather was caught after a 13-hour flight. In front of us, city that just swarmed by mopeds and hawkers was 8.6 million. The night became day. It followed by one, these traffic conditions, adventurous ride to the hotel. In each situation, friendly people pointed the way us and you always had the feeling of being welcome guest.
The next days were filled with talks at the German Embassy in Jakarta, the German Chamber of foreign trade, and individual discussions between entrepreneurs and potential partners.
In Berlin, we got the note that Jakarta is a shopper's paradise of the employees of the Indonesian Embassy. To the delight of the entire group, this was not an exaggeration. A shopping mecca was lined up on the other.
After 5 days of Indonesia, it then went to Viet Nam. There was a similar picture like in Jakarta in Hanoi. One had the impression the city burst seams. Pure chaos and people who run their businesses on every corner. Viet Nam, now - coffee export country number 1, offered to every corner of its coffee in coffee shops. For us, Saxony later beat heart in an instant with similar taste for coffee.

Highlights were talks in the Vietnamese ministries and other State institutions - always with employees, many in Saxony and Leipzig, had received an education in East Germany. It was now for US Leipzig to take advantage of and to enable this connection. This was impressive.
