Joan's Reflection =D
My first impression of China was quite bad. I thought that China was quite in bad condition like the environment etc. However, when I came it is not as bad as I thought. Certain parts of China are quite modern. As for the services, I think they still need more improvements. I’m also impressed that some China and Hong Kong people know English.
The 4 main objectives I learnt during this trip are understanding China, knowledgeable, networking and teamwork.
The trip to China had helped us to understand more about China. We went to the Chinese Folk Culture Village, certain Memorials and Museum. Through all theses, we get to know more about China’s history and cultures.
Through the visit to the companies, I’m able to get a better understanding of business. Before we went for the trip, we already have some information. However the understandings of it were still not enough. During the trip, we were able to know more about business like why they chose to set up here, what are the opportunities, how they overcome their problems. The information is accumulating and getting more and more. We are getting more knowledgeable too. There are also some interesting things in China. For example in the Wal Mart, there was a staff greeting the customers at the entrance. It gives people a feeling that they are welcomed warmly. We also went to factories to have a look. I think this is the first time that most of us went to the factories. We even had a hands-on experience on making almond cakes which is very rare for us.
Next objective is networking. Actually, during the first networking dinner, I was very afraid to speak up or chat with the guest but my friends around me encouraged me to speak up more. After that, I’m able to speak with the guest better. From the networking dinner, I’m able to get more information from them. They are willing to share their experiences with us and telling a lot of information that we are unable to get from books or internet. For example, they told us that normally the Chinese doesn’t like to sign contract as fast as possible like the westerners. They normally like networking first then sign contract. I think that we all managed to do well and getting better in giving out name cards too.
Lastly, I learnt about teamwork. Without our group cooperation and the teachers, I don’t think that we be able to complete our project. Everyone did their part and completed the jobs assigned to them. And with the cooperation from the whole, the trip was successful. From this trip, we also managed to know more friends from different courses and communicate with them.
