Day 10

Day 10 -TO THE KE KOU KE LA (可口可乐)FAK-TOH-REE~

So today, after class and lunch, we all went to the Coke factory here in Hubei!
It's only a 30mins journey there.
So the coke factory is actually quite near.
The tour around the coke factory is exactly long.
The visit only took us about an hour.
Well, there is basically nothing much to see around there.Sadly.
But i did get to see some cool stuffs!!!!

When we first got there, we were ushered to a video room.
There, we watched a documentary about the history of CocaCola.
It is in Chinese and i didn't understand a single thing.
I feel bad for always bugging my friends to translate everything for me.
Well, that is one of the downside in being an exotic foreigner here.
Haha!
After the viewing the video, we got a chance to tour at how the coke is really made.
We saw machines doing all sorts of things to the coke bottles.
And i realised that the coke here are sold in glass bottles and not plastic bottles like in Singapore.
So once we entered the machinery area, there a lot of clinging sounds coming from the glass bottles.
Another thing unique about China's coke iis that all the glass bottles are reused.
Of course they must undergo proper sterrilization.
But this is a good idea as it lowers the cost of making new bottles and save the environment.

After viewing the machinery area, we went to a viewing gallery where we saw all the goodies produced by the Coke company.
Oh yes!
Coke owns 4 brands of drink!
They are sprite,CocaCola,Fanta and Minute Maid!
We also saw a chart on how the Coke is progressing over the years.
They do make a lot of money you know!
We also saw celebrities who are ambassodors of  the CocaCola.
people like Jay chou and Wilber pan!!!!!!!
After the viewing gallery tour, we headed back to our dorm~
That is pretty much what happen.
It was really a short tour.
How i wish it could be longer.

PICTURE TIME!!!
This is where they pack  it into the typical glass bottle cart

This is the profit chart through the years!


if i'm not wrong this is where they undergo sterrilization
