By appointment to date, members who qualify due to their records are rewarded a trip to Asia and this time, nowhere else but Indonesia, the nation where Sophie Paris Corporation settled in. The voyage took place in three days, 14-17 April 2012, departing from Tan Son Nhat International Airport, HCMC.

The first day
Bandung City, South Java
At dawn
The five-star grade Papandyan Hotel was our first destination after spending three hours of flight and two hours of traveling by coach from Soekarno Hatta Air Port, Jakarta. Fresh air, superb sights by night and the most favorable traffic helped us to dissipate the tiredness after the long trip. We have set foot on the third largest tourism city of Indonesia, where have named “Paris of Java” as well used to be the capital of colony government under the Holland - East India dynasty in the 18th Century.

Member even was welcome to bring their children along and let them to participate in the contests about beauty and painting, whereby helping the parents feel secure and making them can focus on their business.

Bandung Valley
1:07 P.M
This place was used to be the largest plantation of tea in colonial period and nowaday, it was the renowned tourist area where we have visited and had lunch. The pleasant weather made the Satay dishes seem to be tastier and the way Ebu running her business caused folks chattering constantly. I thought most likely our leaders would like to copy her training method to apply in Vietnam, and I wished to witness their successfulness soon. By the way, I judged this site is as beautiful as Dalat also.

The second day
Head Quarter
10:00 A.M sharp
We presented at Sophie Paris’s office. Regrettably, we had no chance to see Bruno Hasson, the Chairman because he was in his business trip but in return, we were greeted by the entire Managing Board and of course, they treated us much warmly. If there was a thing to make me be full of admiration, it must be the magnificence of the building and I dared to bet, the rests should have the same thought.

Meeting with Indonesia members

Amigos Restaurant
7:10 P.M
It was where guests are served with Mexican foods and are proposed by Salsa dance moves. There was absolutely no complaint about the cookers nor dancers. I felt the joyfulness in their eyes when we were dancing together and how coincident it be, as I was aware that “Salsa” means “Sauce” in Spanish. Correcto!

The third day
Semangi Plaza
9:30 A.M
… before proceeding to the airport and go home
It was one of the largest shopping malls in Jakarta, where there was the presence of Sophie Paris, Semangi was extensive and friendly. Some merchandise had never been sold in Vietnam were bought as souvenirs about the interesting journey. “Sophie, c’est ma vie”, the farewell from Indonesia members sounded familiarly. And if you did not know, it was “Sophie, it is my life.”
