Flight to Taipei

The plane to China was long, nearly 20 hours before we reached the Cathay Life Training Center. I watched every cheesy romantic comedy there was to watch on the AA flight from Dallas to Tokyo. The Cathay Pacific flight from Tokyo to Taipei was much better. Better seats, better entertainment, better service and better hostesses, no wonder US airline company are performing so poorly. As Prof. Walker would say "they are not adding any value, nor are they cost leader - they are basically stuck in the middle". Ok, so I have still not got over the Strategy final.

The reception that we received at Cathay Life was amazing. They had group of employees lined up and as we walked in they sang an upbeat song, cheered and clapped. Although, we were dead tried, I really expected Patrick McGowen to explode any minute, we took a 45 mins tour of the facilities, followed by a welcome dinner.

I don't know about the rest..but I slept like a baby

Nimesh, you forgot to mention the hoola-hoop incident. It was an amazing show of focus and concentration enjoyed by all.
