It's soccer time all around the
world and Evonik’s Project House Light and Electronics completed the collection
of intern stickers already. The day usually starts with a discussion about the
changes of the positions in the department’s tipping game and ends quite late
as the time difference between Taiwan and Brazil makes it a bit hard to watch
the games. We went to bars in Hsinchu downtown for the group matches of Germany
and watched the eighth-final against Algeria at the office at 4 am. – The only
day I started to work at 6.30 am in Taiwan ^^
Our Spanish and British workmates
were released from this kind of problems at a quite early stage of the world
cup. :D
One of our Taiwanese colleagues
told us the Argentina shirts had been sold out but most likely because
Taiwanese prefer the colour rather than the soccer skills of the country’s team.
Soccer is not a very popular sport in Taiwan but still some people watch games
at the weekends and you can see some decoration from time to time.
Besides soccer, some interns are
really into another sport which is about increasing the sensitivity for knowledge
protection issues. So once you forget to lock your computer when leaving your
desk for a minute, your desktop backround is changed to friendly remind you that anyone could do whatever he/she wants with your data.
Well, let’s see if we will have
more serious office wars after the France – Germany match tomorrow.
