Industrial Visit to Coca Cola Factory

Day 22:

We had our Industrial Visit to the Coca Cola Factory today. The main purpose of this trip is to show how a production process in a Coca Cola Factory actually operates. The flow and the overall process.

Upon reaching, we were told to walk in an orderly manner into the place which I dont know why. Perhaps, they just want us to be more orderly and organized, just in case we were to make too much noise as we walk in a big group.

We were then led to a room to show us a video about the history of Coca Cola and the other branches in China.
After which, we were showed to the viewing gallery of the process in a manufacturing Coca Cola Company.
Here are the pictures!

We were given a glass bottle of coke each when we entered the room for the video.

After the video, we headed over to the gallery and see the processes in the factory.

This woman is doing a manual check on the empty bottles before it goes into the process.
Bottles which fail the test would be placed into the red cartons in near the worker legs.

This guy worker is actually sliding the metals into the machines.
The metal is actually the top part of the can drinks you see in our daily lives.

The packaging section.

We then headed over to the exhibition hall and see all the designs of the coke bottles from the start till the present, with even some of them at limited edition design.

Reflections:

Just last night, I finally made a call using skype over back to my family. I had a short chat with my family using the webcam too. Time flies as it had already been 22 days since I arrived. My mum uses msn and I frequently keep in touch with her at Singapore via chatting with her online through msn. Its just nice to see how my friends around me have been trying to keep in touch with their families over at Singapore. Adrian make calls back once a week to just inform them he is doing fine, a very common method. My friend, Eshlyn actually write emails back to her mum. I could actually imagine her mum relaxing and reading the long email her daughter writes. That is just so heartwarming and sweet. I really miss my family!
