What we KNOW now…

This trip has taught us valuable lessons

What to do and what not to, what to say n what not to. Or perhaps what can be said at one time may not be said at another time. The key sentence is to say the right things at the right time.




For instance, “Market surveying”.














Teamwork is crucial, and staying together as a team is further more important. This can be in terms of a lot of things such as tapping of each others’ potential and strong points when doing assignments or using the correct person to do specific things. Send the suitable face to go on the cross-the-custom mission if you have bought some not-so-legal stuffs.



(Definitely not smiley face Mr. Wong =P)









And also definitely not someone with HK-TriadBoss-look







I would say the most significant is when we bargain for the things we want to buy. Togetherness means strength. Most often than not, when we as a team bargain continuously from one person to the next, we managed to get our “market survey” items at a much discounted price.

We learnt how to be independent. Edward on the 6th day fell ill. He has to learn to be independent, to stay in the hotel all by himself.

We learnt to respect others’ culture and to understand that every place has its own culture and practices. Hence we should be flexible and not have a stick-on-the-mud mindset when doing business. Complaining all day does no help; learn to adapt.

Every place has its own norms. And of course, every person has his own way of presenting information. Right now, does anyone appear in your mind???

Some clue for you...















BINGO!.. Professor Le Che













Well, no intentions, just that maybe less wordy slides would be appreciated.




He seriously put in a lot of time and effort in doing up the slides. We can tell.




*Thanks Professor Le Che!
