What is the real purpose of a team building trip? I'm under the impression that it is to foster stronger bonds through activities.
1. I do not think that wasting time travelling by coach would in any way achieve the goal. Not as if people are gonna communicate much during the journey. Not as if there're gonna be any interactive games (only games people play would be on their psp, ds lite or iTouch) carried out on the coach. Majority would be engaged in the activity callled sleeping. Why can't we be more time efficient and travel by flight? Time = money isn't it?
2. After travelling for 6 hours (ONE way), the activities we gonna do can be carried out on siloso beach, or even east coast park at that. How not interesting? If the so-called team building activities are bound to the location, it gives one less reason for this argument.
3. This is personal. I don't want to go KL! There's nothing worth to shop, no scenic views! What's left is only a lousy, run-down and under-maintained theme park! What's the catch?
