The Second HC Retreat --- A Great Experience In My Life!

In 2011/2/12 , our HC office organizes the second time HC Retreat which gives me a deep impression.
Let me show the rundown to give a big picture to you!

                                                                       
9:00am   Arrival (gathering at the lobby of Macau Tower)
9:20am   Team Building activity (outdoor plaza)
9:45am   Skywalk X (level 61)
12:15pm  Lunch
2:00pm   Team Building exercise (outdoor plaza)
2:45pm   Rock Climbing (outdoor plaza)
4:15pm   Debriefing (outdoor plaza)
4:30pm   End


There is no doubt that the most important part in this retreat is the Skywalk X and this is what all most all the classmates thinking because Skywalk is the most exciting event in the retreat. But in my opinion, the most important part is the Rock climbing part. Of course, I put forward this idea after the retreat. So Let check it out why I think so!


Before 9am, we had arrived at the Macau Tower.White,Eunice,Diego and me share the same taxi.

Although we were the first team, the other classmates arrived very soon. It seems that we are all excited at the retreat and had a great expectation on it!

Happy people

By checking the rundown, we known we will do the skywalk on the top of the Macau Tower! Wow, it's really in the walk in the sky---about 233m!

After all the Hc member had arrived, we were separated into several teams to go to the outdoor plaza and do the team building activity. Again, it's like the team building activity we had done before in the class ---   the Marshmallow Challenge. So, i would not write too much on this activity. And it's still a funny process to build a team using the Marshmallow Challenge.

After the team was built, we started the most exciting part of the retreat. We went back into the Tower and take the lift to 61th floor to experience the skywalk.

I have to say the lift is very very very fast!! And it only used 40second to bring 15people to the 61floor.. Fast and safe.. finally we were on the top..

The introduction of Skywalk

The lucky first group skywalker!

Our group-All brave men!(Lady first lar~)

Well, let's talk about why we came to the Macau tower to do the skywalk first.To be a leader, we need to have enough courage to overcome the things that we are afraid of. To go to the Macau tower, especially the 61th floor, we need to overcome the fear of height. Some of our classmates are afraid of height, actually, and they still go out of the tower walking on the edge of floor. To over something we are afraid of. That why we were in the top of the Macau tower. We did it.

The edge of the floor

In my opinion, what we have experienced is the feeling of overcoming something--the feeling of setting on the edge of 61th floor. To overcome the fear of things or situations, we accept them instead of controlling them. Yes, we accept that we are afraid of the height and yes, we are setting on the edge.

After the skywalk, we had our lunch in order to preparing for the afternoon. During the lunch, we asked many questions about the exchange and Dr.Udani always could  solve our question and provided the details to us. 

The cheese cakes is delicious!

At about 4pm, we go to the rock climbing area of the Macau tower.But before the rock climbing, two lucky guys in our class were enjoying the free Sky jump.It must be very exciting!

Two supermen!Lucky guys~

Well, go back to the rock climbing which is activity I think can be used to compare with the skywalk. Although not everyone can try the rock climbing.

Errol is fast and talent!

Errol is the first one who take the chance to do the rock climbing.He is fast and talent. And only spent 1min to reach the goal.Well,I really want to have a try but there was no opportunity for me. T-T

Not only boys! Girls can do it,too!

Of course, not only boys can take part in the rock climbing, girls can participate in, too. Because we are all dare to take chances when it comes to us.

It's obvious that not everyone can finish the rock climbing.But the one who had a chance to climb, they try as hard as they can. Like the manager said, it's not important to reach the aim but to try. Unlike other people, we dare to try and never to say no to the opportunity. I think I will never forget the things I have learned from the rock climbing. And I will remember the scene that a person who is climbing up and never give up! This is spirit which I think is most important to be success.

I learned more from the rock climbing part. That why I think this part is the most impressive part in the retreat!


Above all, the second HC retreat is deserve to memorize. A Great Experience!
