VIP Class Notes (Tibo) [S]

my flight was been cancelled.

Delta made it but not CA.
They cancelled my flight and I cannot reschedule by the phone and I have to wait in line in the airport for 9h to manually reschedule my flight.
Another my American colleague who have meeting in Shanghai 2 weeks ago and was supposed to get on the same flight he got cancelled and he had to change to another airline like Delta.
Then I successfully flied to US and Typhooon ruined my schedule which my boss and his wife supposed to take me to the zoo.
And when I arrived there I finally found that I got into another world.
I finally realize that no Chinese, have to speak English and my boss took me to the company via his car.
The atmosphere is really good and colleagues are nice.
I met CEO and the legal department and lots of colleagues and they took me out for team buildings. We went to the Santa Barbara beach and I said Santa Barbara beach and they showed me the beach and now I knew they took me to one bar and we had lunch and lots of chatting then we went to another bar then we wandered in the street and went to another bar and that day I drank the most beers in my life and I slept the best that day.

I was surprised that they would take me to one bar and then another bar then another.

out of their imagination -> out of their expectation

report me I was not efficient because there are some issues happen during my absence to US and they wanted me to do it in US time during my visit and they called me at 11pm so I didn’t answer the phone because this is my off duty time.
