Of team building and treasure hunt......

Went for department team building event on last week. The event kicked off with treasure hunt around PJ area. There were 12 groups. I was in Group 10. As the teams got their first question to attempt, each of them headed off. My team still in the factory compound strategizing. The plan worked though as we able to overtook some of the teams. The clues lead us to Aman Suria and then Damansara Perdana. Along the way, we managed to solve most of the questions.

As time ticking fast, we decided to speed up and target to leave for Port Dickson by 10.30am. The last point of the treasure hunt was at Taman Tun D.I. Managed to get there by 10.30am. Then we sped off to Port Dickson. We supposed to reach the end point by 12 noon. Otherwise there would penalty imposed. Little did we know, the actual time of arrival was before 1pm.

Our team building venue was in Eagle Ranch Resort, Port Dickson. My team arrived at 12.05pm. We thought we were some what behind the pack as we didn't see other teams along the way. To our surprise, the organizer hadn't reached the resort when we arrived. We were the first team to arrive. Complete with treasures and answers. Indeed we were quite excited. Seeing other teams turned up one by one. However, the winner yet to be announced. Points would be given to correct answers and treasures.

The event continued with team cheer. Each team would come out their original team cheer.

Late in the afternoon, we headed to the beach. Teams were consolidated into six teams. The task was to assemble a raft. Then using the raft, the team would sail out to the sea and take back a flag. Unfortunately, my team got the last place.

Nite time was horrible. Karaoke event. I must say that the event dragged until midnite with dried up laughter.

The next morning, we had mini Amazing Race. Not quite fun actually. Just did some stupid tasks like collecting leaves, went here and there, solving problems. I still prefer the actual Amazing Race (not the one in TV3 Explorerace).

The last event was great - paintball. Team vs team. The objective was to get a flag from opponent area. Again, my team loss. Some of them got bruise from the paintball shooting. This was the time the good employees took revenge on their bosses. Hehehe.....

Overall, my team got 4th. A box of chocolate to share among the members.

The good news was my treasure hunt team got 2nd place. We almost got 1st. Loss out in the deciding game. We won 2 irons and 2 blenders. I took back the iron although I don't use it. I wish I would have get the first prize -DVD player and cordless phone.

So much for the events. I think I would like to play paintball in the near future.

Kumano Kodo - Day 2

After a good rest, I departed for Hosshimon-oji. The hotel provided free transit to the Hongu area, so I saved some time waiting for the bus. The plan for the day was a 7 km walk from Hosshimon-oji to Oyunohara. Since my next lodging was in the Yunomine Onsen area, I decided to add an extra walk from Oyunohara to Yunomine Onsen, which was about 2.2 km. At Hosshimon-oji, the trail is essentially a connecting route to the Takijiri trail. The previous stamping station was about 800 meters from Hosshimon-oji, so I made a detour to Inohana-oji. That detour added approximately 1.6 km to my journey, taking about 30 minutes or more. From Hosshimon-oji (after detouring via Inohana-oji), I started walking toward Hongu Taisha, which was about a 2.5-hour walk. Along the way, I stopped to rest and take photos. It was quite a leisurely walk. Part of the trail is paved, while the rest consists of forest paths lined with cypress trees (I guess). By the time I reached the town around Hongu Taisha, it w...

Last day in Sendai

After spending five days in Sendai, my visit here has finally come to an end. On my last day, I took a tour of the Kirin Beer Factory. I must say that the tour was quite informative—slightly better than the one I had at a beer factory in Malaysia. Visitors were able to touch, smell, and taste during the tour. We were served at least three different types of Kirin beer for tasting. Although the tour was short, it was uplifting. I had lunch at their restaurant, which was probably my most expensive meal during this trip to Sendai. In the afternoon, I took an Uber to Arahama Elementary School, which has now been turned into a museum. It is located on the eastern side of Sendai, an area that was hit by the tsunami following the earthquake on March 11, 2011. On that day, after the quake, the schoolchildren were evacuated to the rooftop of the building. About 27 hours later, they were all rescued. The school now exhibits the impact of the tsunami, the conditions on that day, and the aftermath...
