It's been three days since we greeted Jakarta. There are ups and downs, hunger and heat often come, but happiness and laughter never give up accompanying us. Different experiences, new knowledge, and an increasingly real enthusiasm for learning have really been obtained. The warm kinship of the participants and committee, the friendly people in the company, the comfort of the shelter, the delicious food that fills the stomach, that's what makes Company Visit 2018 different. Really don't know where else to go to get this experience, unique and interesting.
