On June 2nd, 2012, PSI’s annual staff tour had finally come; we went to the beautiful Xichong Seaside of Nan’ao. We enjoyed it very much, and we thanked our company and General Manager Gilbert Chen for giving us this chance that made us a happy and unforgettable day. During this tour, not only our spirit of mutual assistance and interaction, but also the charm of the company culture had been improved.

It was a sunny day with a gentle breeze. We got on the nice tour bus and left the factory at 8 am. After an hour and a half, we arrived at our destination. Many beautiful and large trees came to sight. Then we quickly reached the place for our first activity, “Jungle Warfare”. After listening to the instructions from the instructor, we wore the battle dress uniform, and took the laser imitation guns and the sensor system. We were divided into two teams, and then entered the battlefield. One team had to attack the team, and that team had to defend itself. Firstly, we found our own field and started the fight. From the photo you can see how exciting it was, and we finished the game about 20 minutes later. Some partners among us were gloriously “sacrificed”. However, it was ok because the most important thing was to join the activity. Through this activity, we found every one of us extremely energetic and passionate.

Next we enjoyed the delicious seafood meal at a comfortable seaside restaurant, which left us a strong “ aftertaste”. After lunch, we had a rest, and then went to the beautiful seaside. We took yacht to “lai shi zhou”, the lover’s island, which was the place we had been longing for a long time. There were beautiful mountains in the islands, and the islands were surrounded by the sea: what a breathtaking scenery it was! All of us could not wait to take photos. Then we went to catch fish, sea snails, crabs and sea cucumbers and. We climbed up the mountain and enjoyed the view of the vast sea. About two hours later, we took the yacht and returned to the coast. At that time the sunlight was very strong, but many of us could not resist the charm of the sea we rushed to the sea for swimming and playing. The cool sea water took away the heat so we all stayed for a long time in the water. But when we were back on the land, we all found that our skins were sunburned. Not until this time had this thought occurred to us ‘“Oh my god”, I will have peeling skin tomorrow’. In fact, that thought turned out to be true. We swear next time we will do something to prevent us from getting sunburned.

Time flied, and soon came the assembling time! In order to reward the staff, before we went home, our company hosted a lucky draw. Mr. Chen, the general manager of our company, was in charge of announcing the lucky guys. Those who were called were very excited, for they not only enjoyed themselves during the day, but also got the present –It was really ‘killing two birds with one stone’. Finally, we all returned home with joy. We played happily all day, and we look forward to another different but wonderful experience from our next trip.
