Off to a pharmaceutical company today
The Q & R Pharmaceutical Company in Wuhan, which is only less than 30 minutes away from University. Finally a very short bus ride unlike the ride to places such as Lulin and Three Gorges.
A buffalo ploughing the land in front of the pharmaceutical company, which is weird to see it there as usually buffalo is only seen in plantations or farms.
our tour guide of the visit
one of the warehouses
Coal
Where they keep their materials and all
The packaging section
The cleanroom
Signs that mark danger and "do not"s
After our visit to the company, I went out with Yee Tat and Yingli to Guang Gu.
Here we can see Giordano, a brand that we also can see in Singapore.
Guang Gu a.k.a Grand Ocean shopping mall
Mint milk tea with pearls. The bubble teas from this store at the shopping mall is super nice!!
me and yingli
The waffle from this shop is delicious too, with many flavours to choose from
See the difference in the waffle. The one I was holding is banana flavoured waffle.
The hotdog in waffle I tried, also as nice.
Reflections:
It is my first time visiting a pharmaceutical company in China and I would say the trip is not very fruitful as we only get to walk the circumference of the place more than able to see what is going on inside the building, the company. However, in Singapore, we get to see what is inside the company and this enables us to learn much more. I guess the company or should i say other companies too in China are stricter in the sense that they would not want their manufacturing details to be leaked out to anyone, wanting to protect their own company's privacy and information. Dr Tan still wanted a report done about this trip to the pharmaceutical company even though we do not see much. I think it will be a chance to look into how I can put down what I saw and learnt into words even though nothing much was seen. It was like a problem posed right in front of us, waiting for us to solve before we can get a successful result (i.e. the report).
New things are meant to be tried with the mindset of learning and knowing more things in life, hence reducing the number of things that I can do for the first time. For today, is the food that I tried for the first time, such as the waffle, the hotdog in waffle and the bubble tea. Sometimes when you try things for the first time, you may or may not like it but at least you did try and found out whether you like it or not. At least the first step is made, which is the step that is hardest to make of all. With this first step made, things are tried, situations change and so on. Plus, what comes with making the first step is courage. Hence, to me, trying new things by making the first step forward really build the courage within and this leads to trying more new things.
