This is my most memorable trip oversea: is my very first oversea business trip. Initially I am super reluctant to make this trip. The main reason is the insecurity that I had in my heart : All alone in a foreign country, a country which i had language barrier in ( My
english is not powerful
enuf). The other worry is the
inconfidence I had with myself. Though I had work on this project ever since I joined the company., I'm still fresh out from school. This is a six digit project and i am handling all by my own. Super scary, but is a good experience.
I never regret of making this trip to Philippines, without my boss accompany. Overnight, i h
ave a lot of
Filipinos friends. They really melt my heart with their warmth and friendliness. They are really a butch of happy people who know how to enjoy life. After work, they will drop by at the
lodge or restaurant near the seaside, enjoy live band music. This is really a relax experience and a great time to bond relationship.
This trip also let me had a chance to build up a network. Due to the size of the project, I get to know big shots like founder of the big US company, president of blah blah company. From this trip, i realise not all big shots are snobbish. They are actually quite approachable people and
willing to share their experience with you.
This project also build up my guts. I actually dare to present right in front a group of experts uncles. And they are listening to what i say.what an experience.
The food here is also great. Seafood almost every meal. The seafood here is super fresh. the oyster here is so super fresh. I like the
sashimi too. the meat is firm, and when you bite you can feel the freshness in the meat. talking of this make my saliva drip.
This
Philippines trip can be tough, but i really learn a lot.
the sad thing that happen is the flood that occurs in manila. Let's mourn for the
causalities.I was in the place of disaster. The fortunate thing is I was working in the office. This is the first time I experience flood. It can be say at that moment you are cut off from the outside world. You can only survive on the stuff you had at home. Although that day i had to work 24 hour, i enjoying it as i had friends to help me
