This week we moved to the Rosslyn plant in Pretoria. So last Sunday Nozomi and I got driven over to our new place to stay, Utopia Guesthouse. Its been really great, the breakfast is delicious and we get vouchers for dinner every day at a restaurant next door. The people here are really great and have been very accommodating. My bedroom at Utopia Guesthouse This week I met the group of people Im working with at the brewery. My main contact, Myron is in charge of the engine room at the brewery which is where Ill be working, Nozomi's host Monique works with CIPs in Brewing and gave us a tour of the brew houses in the plant, giving us a brief overview of the brewing process from the collection of the raw materials all the way through shipping the beer off to the packaging department. Then Terrance, another employee we're working with, gave us the run down of Inbev's management strategy and then gave us a step by step walk through of the packaging process, showing us e...
This was our last week at the Rosslyn Plant so I spent most of the week working on wrapping up my different projects and preparing to present on my work next week. I got to train operators at the plant to work on with a calculator I made, which was really cool because now I know that one of the projects I worked on will definitely make a lasting difference at the plant. This Saturday we took a suggestion from Rob at the Bentley Lodge and hired a driver to take us up to Bela Bela. We went zip-lining across a gorge, toured a croc farm where we got to eat croc burgers, and then went around a monkey sanctuary. It was all really fun to do, and a great last day in the area.

The croc farm had a lot of both baby and giant adult crocs, including a 700 kg, 42 year old one that was massive. We learned that because of the low temperature the crocs don...
I arrived in South Africa Friday before last and it took a few days before I didn't have to take a nap in the middle of the day. Inbev put us up in this place called the Muco Guesthouse which was a great little place to stay with very friendly people among both the staff and the guests. It was walking distance from Rivonia Village, a little mall area with food and shopping. Inbev got us tickets to Castle Lite Unlocks on Monday, which had food, drinks, and performances by various artists, as well as a few interviews with the artists. It was really fun and I got to try two different cocktails made with Castle Lite (A mojito and a ginger twist), as well as a regular Castle Lite draught. We had a ton of fun and there were a bunch of people there. During our first week, we were stationed at one of the offices in Sandton, and given a variety of different resources to begin studying for our projects. On Wednesday, we went to a different office and got to participate in some budget mee...
