No Regret in Summer Vacation

It is close to the end of the July, half of the summer vacation. This time is different from the last year because the travel vacation of the corporation had been moved from June to the September. On the other word, last year, our summer vacation had been begun from the four days trip, but this year the trip would be on the end of the summer. Although, there were more times of intensive travel abroad these two years, the trip in Taiwan won’t be once a season like plan we had followed previously. Furthermore, prior to graduate from the school, most of the outdoor activities would be plan in summer as well, including riding bicycle, surfing, marathon and Triathlon. Even though, we still have sufficient power to play above leisure activities, the life left the group currently might damage the motivation to reach the achievement far from the daily life.

Thus, I started to consider what the meaning and importance of each trip I had participated ever. For the outdoor activities in the young age, it might be the proof of our physical capability. We had to be under the deep training and practice before each of the distinctive challenges. Moreover, without the appropriate transport vehicle, the bike riding would be the best choice for us to explore the further world in the early age. Different challenges correspond to the particular view and reward. I had seen and felt the completely different achievement from the bike riding, mountain climbing and the some sort of the activities on the ocean.

The Manufacturing Exhibition in Thailand

The first day of exhibition, I attempted to get up much earlier, because I would have to commute in this unfamiliar city. Due to absence of preparation yesterday, I still had to install the pressing module and set up the video on the platform. Fortunately, I had merely spent 20 minutes on commuting to the exhibition center, so I arrived at the center earlier more than 15 minutes prior to the beginning. There was no any member I had met before, so when I arrived at our booth I require to greet the colleagues of our corporation. And then, I tried my best to make the remained preparation and completed in the ten minutes. The type of our entirely expression was not too far from what we had done in Taiwan. There were two major parts, one was the key components and another was the dynamic equipments demonstrating during the exhibition. This time, there were three dynamic equipments which including our servo press. However, the other two equipments had faced the serious problems when they attempted to operate. Thus, their team had kept adjusting the code and parameter.

Generally speaking, the environment and type of exhibition was very similar, but the scale was much bigger than what had done in Taiwan. Thailand have been the great industrial country in ASEAN and located in the center of Indochina. Thus, the related-industry exhibitions are able to attract the nearby countries to participate and visit. Due to the dynamic equipment we had showed, more visitor could be attracted to go closer for taking the deeper inspect. For diverse culture, I generally introduced our product in English so as to communicate with our colleague. We had been familiar with each other in short time, and I had accepted a vast amount of assistance.

The First Day in Bangkok

It was merely four days left when I received the mission which was the business trip for manufacturing exhibition in Bangkok. Although, there were not exactly the sufficient time to make the well preparation, I still had the great deal of expectation for this trip because it would be the first time I would be able to introduce and promote our developed product in the foreign exhibition personally. Last exhibition I had participated was the automation exhibition in Taipei, I had a formal presentation for introducing our new technical features and functions of our product, but in the following period there were fewer opportunities to stand on the front line to face the client and market. Fortunately, in the Bangkok, we had the complete branch where could provide the utterly support for the period when I stay in Thailand.

The next few days, I tried my best to study and receive any information about Bangkok via books and Internet. In the trip, I would have one free day and I have to responsible for my own transportation everyday in the downtown. Thus, I had to understand the fundamental profile of this city. In the beginning, the colleague in Thailand helped me to arrange the airport transportation and hotel. On the other word, I could arrive at the hotel where I would stay each day in the trip. The distance between hotel and exhibition center is suitable for the taxi. Unfortunately, there is no MRT station near the hotel that I could walk to, so I began to seek something special near the hotel. I had found the shopping center and night market where I could go after work in the evening. Truly speaking, it is impossible for me to go only one place in the whole six days trip.
