Product & Technology offsite trip: Bring on the heat

_{On a fiery summer weekend, our Product & Technology Divisions joined the same heartbeat and enjoyed the most thrilling times on a 2-day-1-night offsite trip in the coastal city of Phan Thiet - Mui Ne.}

Preparing for the race that was expected to require a lot of sweat and teamwork, the whole group woke up with the sunrise and warmed up with a 3-km marathon amidst the crisp air and green paths of the Giang Dien Waterfall. Although the route was relatively short, we were truly immersed in laughter, encouragement, and the sound of each other's cheers as we pushed toward the end. 

We run as one

The convoy continued rolling before stopping for lunch to refuel. Here, Amazing Race officially kicked off with 8 teams all set to claim victory. To start, we must crack a puzzle that reveals a map guiding us to hidden spots. The special vehicle that adds an interesting layer to the race is the jeep - a signature of the dune land. The teams continue to decode the Morse code to find the jeep that will accompany the team throughout the race.

Amazing race

Board the jeep at Ong Dia rock beach, the road ahead opens up to amazing views of the vast blue sea. Coming to the first challenge at Po Sah Inu Cham Tower, teams will have time to enjoy traditional Cham dances performed by local artisans, and then recreate those movements.

The shows were put together in a remarkably brief period, delivering a delightful sense of humor to the spectators.

At the second stop, the Fish Sauce Museum, the challenges require a much higher level of teamwork. We have to find "hidden mysterious characters", take difficult team-posing photos, and learn about the quintessence of the fish sauce industry, which is seamlessly woven into the game.

Having completed all the tasks, we bid farewell to the breezy jeep journey to return to the Indochina-style beachside resort, where the final teambuilding game was ready to be conquered. Athletic challenges light up our team spirit and unite us more than ever. This moment of enjoyment on the beach seems to erase all competition and exhaustion.

In celebration of everyone's hard work, we indulged in a variety of specialty foods at the buffet dinner. The Katalians, dressed in tropical-themed costumes, added a vibrant energy to the party night. tropical drink This was when we took a moment to reflect on the wonderful memories made on the trip. Joy knew no bounds when the three teams emerged victorious, yet we made sure to acknowledge everyone's achievements in completing every mission.
