Business Study Mission (China)

I was on a Business Study Mission to the Pearl River Delta region in China organised by SMU during the early December 2005. (Gosh, this sentence is really long and what a mouthful! Hehe... =P ) It seems like everytime I went back to mainland China, I would never go beyond the provincial boundaries of Guangdong! I must really find the opportunity to go to other parts of China and 'see see look look'!

Anyway, talking about the trip. It was awesome. We not only had the opportunity to visit many types of companies and interact with the business people and government officials there, but also got to travel around the delta and really appreciate how big China is and how fast she has been growing and developing over these years. And of course, how could I ever forget the great food we had there throughout? I never gained so much weight so fast in such a short time, as compared to me frequently missed eating breakfasts when back in Singapore... (sob...)

Had a great time with my classmates there also, and we took like so so so many pictures there and my camera ended up overworked there and I had to send it for repair lately. Haha. Posted many of them online at http://www.pbase.com/elvischiu/bsmchina05/. Do take a look! Below are some which I would like to post it here in the blog, to make it more colourful! Haha!!! =D

Never will you find a SMU trip without us doing the SMU jump, many many times!
