We employed two chauffeurs as well as buses for serving our trip. It’s Bus A and Bus B. We had made sure everyone is present and set off at 09:00 sharp. We got an unexpected call only within ten minutes rode from colleague Li who was driving a private car. He said that we left Xiao Chen behind. How come? We thought he might joke with us as he always like joking. We called Bus B to confirm the matter, a colleague in charge who told us that Xiao Chen was sleeping in the last row of the bus. Then we called Li angrily. Li said he was not joking and asked Xiao Chen to talk with us. Oh, God! He was serious. Why this had happened if she counted the number of people before they started off and why she still saying that he is sleeping in the last row of the bus? Did she make a twins mistake? It’s really a headache. Should we let him take a taxi or let him just go with Li. But there were enough people on Li’s car and they are Japanese guests. Anyway, the final decision was let Xiao Chen squeezed in Li’s car.

We arrived at Qingyuan Xin Yin Zhan Hot Spring Holiday Resort at 09:55. How near it is!

The hotel is rigorous that needs everyone’s ID cards necessarily. Unluckily, there were two of our guests forgot to bright it with them that troubled us so much. Finally, we borrowed the ID cards from others. It took us about 1.5 hours to check in due to nearly 90 people and we had to arrange the rooms for everyone properly. It’s not easy, because we were arrived at the hotel too early that they didn’t have enough rooms for us.

Fortunately, we had lunch at the hotel, because our time was quite limited that we had to get to Bijia Mountain at 14:00 for drifting. You know, it takes 30 minutes from hotel to Bijia Mountain. During lunch some of the people told us that they would rather stay at hotel to enjoy hot spring or other activities instead of drifting. Owing to drifting is too breathtaking. It’s all alright. I asked two Japanese whether they would go with us, they didn’t give me a yes or no but said they are afraid. So I thought they will not join us. But I was wrong.

When the buses set out at 13:30, I got a call from a Japanese guest that he said they will go with us. God! We have cars but no drivers as they were in the bus. I tried very hard to contact the hotel to help; they told me that the only way is to call a taxi from downtown that takes about 30 minutes. Okay. I gave him a call when I arrived in the drifting place; they were still waiting for the taxi. They asked me to wait for them, but I didn’t promise.

Colleague Yao had a word with me that she would go drifting with me eagerly. Sure, I responded happily, because I didn’t want to go with a male despite I don’t know how to swim. Ha! At last the one who promised me to go drifting but didn’t, but the one who was fear but she did go with me. I gave my mobile to Yao and asked her to take care of the Japanese guests.

It took us 15 minutes to decide to go drifting, because we both were thrilling and trembling. Well, the process was so excited and you could hear screaming sounds all the way. My colleagues were extremely happy to see me that attacked me by water, and then some strangers attacked us too. It’s very funny and exciting experience indeed.

After drifting, we went back to hotel and had dinner there; we had draw activity during the dinner time, before the draw our boss gave us a speech that was really impressive. He said, we work for power, we should have power ourselves. The draw was very interesting though I was not a lucky dog.

We had booked two rooms for Karaoke in the evening. I would rather cherish the chance to enjoy hot spring instead of singing in a room. The advantage of this resort is that it has adequate places for team activities and offered many activities items, the hot spring pools are clean, it cleans every four hours. But the hot spring pools are few. You don’t have much choice. Anyway, I like the 43 Degree Celsius one, the SPA and the comprehensive Health and Fitness Centre with Jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms. Ha! It’s kind of enjoyment.

All of our male colleagues prefer cold water for such a sweltering day rather than hot spring. They had fun in the swimming pools and some other excited activities. The most excited one I joined them was that I went to a high place and slide down from above. It’s cool indeed. Ha! It took them a long time to persuade me, because I was too frightened. Jolly, I had an enjoyable evening.

Although it was not smooth all the way, we did had a satisfactory day.
