OLT caught up with a few of our students who visited Dalian, China in September this year. During this trip, the students have the opportunity to visit Hewlett‐Packard (HP) in Dalian and gained an in‐depth understanding of its operations and the IT service industry in China as a whole. A visit to Neusoft, a HP partner and global IT solutions provider, was also an eye‐opener into the advance technologies of the Chinese enterprise. The students gained first‐hand experience of Neusoft, it’s growth from a company with a humble beginning to a leading organization that develops advance navigation systems for the automotive industry, intelligent software for mobile devices from Sony and Apple iPhone, and state‐of‐the‐art medical engineering products for Philips Electronics.

Besides the industry and university visits, the group also spent some time visiting places of interest in Dalian, such as museums, art centre and theme parks, to better appreciate the history and culture and lifestyle of Dalian and China.

Below are some of their thoughts on the trip.

Shameel

"The scenery was super‐duper amazing and nice, the mountain and ocean views was breathtaking; something no words can describe. So would I consider living there? Maybe."

Hisyamuddin

"I realized that the citizens there seemed happy and joyful ... From that, I learnt that sometimes, I should be thankful, content and appreciate what I have as there are more unfortunate ones out there living in agony and misery :]"

Phyllis Noriko

"I certainly am glad I had chosen to go on this trip to Dalian; I have sought new friendships and
broaden my horizons."

Nariyah

"Besides making new friends, I learnt to adapt on the surroundings, weather, foods and etc. As a senior, I would strongly advise the next batch to go for this trip as it’s a once in a life time opportunity and it will bring good memories especially when you spent your quality time with your friends."
