Pharma Tour ! We went to Hansdok Pharmaceutical Industry. Wow , memang canggih ! Semuanya mesin ! That’s why skilled laborers sometimes lost their jobs as new machines replaced them .. =))
Oh not to forget the social events like Welcome party, International Night where delegates wore their national dresses and share their cultures, Development Fund (FD) Auction & of course Gala Dinner !! Kami hanya diberi makan kebab sama kek sahaja di Gala Dinner..Hehe..Itu sahaja yang halal =P
Erm, cacat cela event tidak ketinggalan juga ! Semua komiti ialah Reception committee ! Not like us, we have divisions like Pub & Info n bla bla bla…Patut lah macam serabut dan serabai sikit. Heh. Kitorang perlu berjalan beribu batu untuk mendapatkan sandwich only ! Di sana mungkin tidak ikut protokol seperti di Malaysia, MC boleh membelakangi VVIP…Tetapi yang best Korean people sangat friendly !! Saya sudah merindui Seoul, anda bagaimana ? =))
