So, my course went pretty well, though the networking didn’t work out well. We’re talking about mingling with vice-presidents, CEOs here. Not that I’m afraid of them, I didn’t had any much common topics with them. They are business-minded, I’m just delighted that I’m out of office learning new things. On the first night, We were given a mini homework to prepare, and had to introduce ourselves in mandarin. We also had to talk about our work and designation. I went home that night and tried some translation website to see if I could find the exact terms for some working terminologies. I got some of them figured out and the next morning, I also called my colleague for help. I passed the introduction. The 2nd day was rather intensive, not only did we cover the geographical, and political understanding of the country, but also many more business/banking terminologies. We also had a test at the end of the day. I passed, and scored 87 out of 100, not bad at all, for someone who has not much knowledge with banking terms. Of course, the scholar of our class was a banker. After that, we also had a wine/beer tasting sample, which I skipped most of it because I don’t think I can hold liquor. I did tasted a tiny bit of a Chinese alcohol, but it tasted like some medicine we rub on our legs when we had a sprain, it tasted awful to me. Overall, I’m really happy with the course, I felt I learnt a lot, but whether I’m able to retain most of the information is another thing, especially when it comes to banking stuff.

I will have a long weekend! I’m taking a day’s off on Friday and I will have Thursday to Sunday off!!

Goodie!
