We started the day to New Oriental. China's number 1 private education provider. They have classes mainly on the English language. You can sit for TOEFL, IELTS and many other international English examinations through New Oriental. New Oriental brands themselves as someone who can help Chinese students pursue their education overseas.

Us, at the New Oriental office in Zhongguancun (the Chinese equilavent to America's Silicon Valley).
Next, we had the opportunity to visit Crowne Plaza Zhongguancun, Beijing. As Beijing is so huge, they actually have several Crowne Plaza's scattered around China's capital. Crowne Plaza's presentation was interesting. The HR Manager was engaging and personal when she tried to reach out to us. It was quite queer sensing like she was trying to recruit us to join her hotel though.
Oh, by the way, did you know Christmas is not celebrated in China? 25 December is not a public holiday.

Lastly, we visited Dragon Seal Wine Company. They are one of China's top winery. Their wine has a French influence and is surprisingly very specialize. The staff that briefed us, Jason, was very knowledgeable on his subject matter of expertise. And that, was very impressive. I'm also happy that he stayed in Kuala Lumpur when her was pursuing his higher education at Taylor's Subang. Isn't the World so small?!
There we are. Outside of Dragon Seal.
It was the last company of our visit and really signalled an end to our corporate trip. It was hard to believe that 9 days just flew by like that. However, I am glad to say that I have learnt so much on the trip and realize that I have loads of growing up to do. I know I may be young, but why start later when you can start now?
