The visit helped me to understand that Taiwanese companies are competitive in world business, especially in the manufacturing area. Most of the products I observed are up-to date and smart based on the demands of the current society. I also learned these companies are pioneered by Taiwanese citizens—the knowledge needed to design, manufacture and manage such companies is homing born which is the key for the current development of Taiwan. After the trip, I understand that there is a big opportunity for me to work for R&D position or product lines at chemical companies or those that produce materials with smart technology such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, textile and cosmetics companies. I also got to meet other foreign students living in Taiwan from this trip. It was easy for me to talk and exchange views with other participants as they were very nice people, regardless of their speaking languages, skin colors, or cultures. This makes me feel confident for the future wherever my destination will be, as I can work with people from different backgrounds. Here below were some comments for the trips. Sun Moon Lake was worth visiting; the pure and green lake water, the lake view from the hotel upper floor, and the boat sightseeing trip were all awesome. I enjoyed the traditional dance with original people; I liked them as well as the music. I enjoyed Taiwanese food as I tried on some sea foods for the first time which was very delicious. A suggestion was that for future visits, team activity could be considered during the visit that could help to strength relationships among participants. Generally speaking, this trip shows me that Taiwan is on the point of no return towards smart and green development. CTCI Foundation has tried to create opportunities to attract foreign talents for Taiwanese companies as investors or contributors of knowledge to maximize product quality and service with better standard around the world. Keep it up. As for me, I hope I can make some contribution as a foreign talent, and also from can be benefited from this win-win relationship with companies in the future. Thank you very much!
