My adventures with everlasting memories

My first adventure outside the Philippines happened in 1996 when I was working with Subic Star Inc., manufacturer of Reebok shoes.  I was a Research and Development supervisor then.  I was invited by Reebok Philippines to join their visit to the outsole suppliers in China.

When I joined GrainPro Phils., Inc. I was not aware I could experience more trips outside the country.  I went to a plastic exhibit in Guangdong China with our President Tom and Kaye, our Production Manager.

We stayed at Grand Forward Hotel

Taiwan was one of the favorites.  I enjoyed the night market so much.

In 2012, I went to India to meet with suppliers and forwarders.  I stayed in a nice hotel in Mumbai.  It was crowded but I remembered how I enjoyed the fashion street where you can buy pasalubong at a very low price.

But the most memorable moments happened in Ireland  I fell in love with the country.  Forty shades of green as they say, with rainbows, leprechauns and the famous Guinness beer.  We conducted our Annual Strategic Planning in Ireland for two consecutive years (2010 and 2011). We stayed at Springfield Castle in Limerick.  It was an ancestral home of Lord and Lady Muskerry. It was a self-catering accommodation, so we end up having groups of  'in-charge for the day' who will do all the chores.  It was also a part of our team building activity.  I always dream of going back to the same place and experience the unpredictable weather of Ireland.  There is so much to enjoy in Ireland and the color, the various shades of a single color, will forever be green.
