Where's the Bus?

Today was like none other so far. I woke up after actually sleeping an entire night to a 30 minute bus ride into the country. We arrived at Auto Adapt and meet with the Vice President then took a tour of their facilities. We then went up stairs for a Fica break and they had the absolute best coffee and coffee machines ever. After we all had our Joe, we went into the board room where the CEO gave a very educational power point on his takes to success in his company. After we finished the power point we went into the lounge and at arguably one of the best meals so far. While I was eating the Vice President decided to come and sit next to me. He sets his plate down on the table, and tomato sauce splashes onto my white shirt. After a quick touch up, I asked him what inspired him to start up this company. He probably gave me some of the best personal advice he could give. To some it up short, it was write your goals down and chase them. Seems simple right, well he told me his personal story and struggles and said that as long as your moving towards your goal eventually you shall achieve.
After Auto Adapt we took another bus ride all the way to Volvo. Volvo was good, but we were all very tired and she could tell. As soon as she side you can go play on the toys ( the trucks that is) all of our eyes lit up and we started hoping in them. After the conclusion to her power point we started to have some serious fun. We had no clue how to get back to the public bus station, and the lady had no idea where one was. So we followed a path from Volvo all the way to the bus path. From there Max hailed a bus driver over but he didn't speak english. The bus driver saw the rest of the group coming and decide that it would be funny if he pulled away. So we left on a different bus than half the group and ended up in Volvo City. From there Max talked this lady that pointed us on the correct route home.
In the mean time Max sat in the back of the bus by me and this Swedish lady over heard Max and I talking. She said something to Max, then all of a sudden sparks were flying. He started to flirt with her and they would laugh together. For a second I though he found his wife. After nearly the entire 30 minute bus ride, she finally gave Max her number and told him that they should go to the archipelago together.
Then we went out to dinner to the Bare Ass Bar, or as it's know Rumpan Bar for some cocktails and food.
