Cassiterite, Stannum Dioxide, or SnO2

Today (March 5, 2013) may be the last day we venture to the mine, so I've titled my post in honor of Tin mine Tunnel tour. It was a real treat to be able to have our two workshops with the staff. Today's workshop was as good as yesterday or maybe even a bit better since we had some repeat staff who wanted to come back to practice more English and ask more questions.

There was a large group of 80 students from a local tech college that came through for a tour. So we were able to accompany two of the staff through while doing their tour and offer suggestions to them on ideas to improve the "experience" of the visitors.

After, we had a farewell bowl of Mee Jawa, Kari Paps, and (they even managed to give us something new) Goreng Pisang (battered and fried bananas, local junk food).

After that I picked up a souvenir and we headed to check out Sleeping Buddha. They have talked a lot about marketing with it as a package to the tunnel tour.

Those bananas were so good and rich I needed to run tonight just to burn them off alone! I've been glad there are others who have wanted to exercise it really helps with keeping a sense of normality. I wish our accommodations had something but we've worked it out ok to get at least a couple days of exercise each week.

So that's a wrap on workshops as today finished off the last of the three, now on to the official marketing plan. #ibmcsc Malaysia
