The week before the National Day Holiday my team and I took part in a training offered by the Pu'er department of China's Red Cross. It was an interesting day in which we learned a lot, and afterwards we found ourselves lucky we had a week-long break to recover from all our 'injuries'. It's a long-standing annual tradition to have a family day in November. This year we combined this event with a team building activity for all staff members. We went to Mengla, close to Jinghong in Xishuangbanna. Mengla is home to New Bupan Aerial Skyway Park, a skyway that runs at around 50 meters above the ground through the canopy of the rainforest. A shaky walk, but one that gives a unique view of the forest. It is an annual tradition to organise a family day outing during November. On such a day, all staff and their families get together for a day of fun, games and good food. This year the setting was a restaurant not far out of town, though in a very quiet environment. Surrounded by tea hills, you could just get a glimpse of the city in the far distance. An ideal place for the children to run around and have fun, while the others chatted away the afternoon with a nibble and a drink. |
AuthorI wouldn't be surprised to find out I was born with a passion for coffee. For the life of me, I can't remember not loving coffee. And by that, I don't just mean drinking it, but everything involved from its cultivation over the processing to the final product that is my loyal companion throughout the day. Archives
