Chinese Team Building

Center 5: Chongwenmen

Hello World!
Two days of Disney Orientation was followed by a great day of team building. Everyone is the North (Beijing) District was put on buses, taken up the mounntain to the middle of nowhere..(while a chinese kung fu movie was playing). All 100 plus of us had formed a team flag, chant/song, name etc... with our team were were lead through some team building exercises such as trust falls,spider web, dragon race,and building a boat out of bamboo,string and barrels(with holes in them). Though our team did win the dragon race,we did not place overall and with my competitive nature i was a little sad :(

But we, as the newest center were lucky to get to participate as it gave us a chance to meet all the other people that we will be working with and playing with in the upcoming year. It was an awesome experience.

Highlights from the trip:
-Mispelled engligh signage
-A insight into what the future plans are for Disney English (if you need a job..contact me!)
-Having a historic piece of the Great Wall as a back drop the entire day
-Having asians want to be in pictures with me

-Using the squat toilet for the first time

-Sitting next to Sarah Bartlett on the bus

-Constructing a boat that didnt capsize...much

-Making new friends

-Eating a tougue kabob

-Being happy
