day 30 - Coca Cola factory

today was an extraordinary excursion. It was a tour around the Coca Cola factory in Wuhan.
We board the bus at the school front gate at 8.30am and headed to our destination. During the journey there, there was a jam in the expressway and there was a stench of foul gas inside the bus. Everyone of us opened the window as the smell of it is just too overwhelming.



Put your fingers on your lips! when we were told to line up in 2 straight lines

Upon reaching, we were then brought to their hall room where a short video clip of the history of Coca-Cola was made. Well, Coca-Cola was first made in 1886 and was first sold in medical halls with a average of 9 glasses sold per day. However, it has a sales of 15 billion right now and is classified as one of the most valuable company on Earth. Whats more, Coca-Cola was also involved in lots of charity program, self-organized concert and collaborations with lots of artist around the world. 



this is where the knowledge i learnt from DGCH ( dangerous cargo goods handling) come into good use.

After the short video clip, we were then brought to the manufacturing section to show the brief process of coke making. We were not able to see the process of making coke as they were currently under going maintenance. 


this is the warehouse to store coke. they are ready to be transported to be every parts of Wuhan. 

after which we are free to look through the gallery section and have our photos taken. 

isnt the teddy bear cute?



Upon reaching back to school, we had our lunch and went out to 江汉路 again. Today we plan to have a short trip and buy our food for picnic at wal-mart. we had our dinner at Ajisen and mine was japanese style fried rice! yum yum 

Reflection: 
During today's Coca-Cola trip, i am able to get a closer insight into how coke was processed before being. distributed out. Since we are living in the 21st century things are very modernized and few manpower are needed as most of the things are done by machine. From a mere 9 glass to a average sales of 15 billion, the increase was remarkable. this could be seen from their illustrious history and the hard work from each generation successor. Hence,i believe that everything is possible as long as we have the patience to see the result and exercise the correct strategy.
