Today we got to sleep in (thank goodness) since we were all up so late we were pretty tired, so we were happy to get a few hours of sleep! :) After sleeping in we got ready to head to another business visit!
We visited Avast! and met with marketing manager Mr. Milos Korenko who was a great presenter and had done his homework before meeting with us. He knew all of our names and some random facts about each of us, it made the presentation very interesting and he was VERY funny as well. Avast! is an antivirus company and we learned all about how Avast! is successful not only in the Czech Republic but through out the world as well! He explained to us how you can earn money when you sell your product for free and it was a very interesting approach that you never really think about. If you are selling your product for free online how do you ever have any revenue. I learned that by selling 'upgraded' antivirus software you gain enough money to cover expenses from that of the free version. It is really just the bait and hook approach.
While at Avast! we had a wonderful lunch (there was even salmon!) and then we headed back to the hotel.
Since we were all pretty tired still we took a nap and then got ready for the rest of our day. Courtney, Molly, and I went to souvenir shop around the main part of Prague and Molly wanted to find the love lock bridge.
After we shopped around and found the love lock bridge, we went to meet with our group who was hanging with some of the International Study Programs employees at a open air movie theatre. After struggling to find where the park where the theatre was located we finally found it after about an hour of trying to find it! It actually turned out to be really cool and there were tons of people there. There were lots of vendors selling food and drinks, as well as lots of people playing games and having fun! While at the open air movie theatre, our director Geoffrey introduced me to his friend Porter who plays basketball professionally overseas. It was so interesting to talk to him and he really made me excited to pursue a professional career in Europe! After spending about 4 hours at the park with the theatre we decided to go back to the hotel and get some rest!
Tomorrow we have our last business visit, we are going to visit the Prague Castle, and then visit the Kozel brewery! It will be our last day of our trip, I can hardly believe it! :(
