Business trip Next week I will be very busy because my two coworkers are going to go on a business trip to Germany on this Sunday. I have to take over some work of theirs and be their backup. For me, I think this is a challenge and also an opportunity to prove my working ability. I had two times of business trip last year, once was to Beijing and another one was to Shanghai. As a junior staff, I was only allowed to take an economy class of a high-speed train. But if the plane ticket is cheaper than the train ticket, I can take the plane instead. I went to Beijing for the vehicle road test of a project which I was engaged in. I went to Shanghai to visit a quality management expert for getting some information. I only spent three days for each time including the travel, so I didn’t have much time to walk around or eat some local delicacy. Some people like going on business trip because they can travel to different places, see different views and the company can cover the expense of the traffic and accommodation. Maybe they even get more paid than usual because of the allowance. Especially for somebody who like travel, they and do their hobby with their work at the same time. In my opinion, if there are two or three times of business trips per year, I can accept that. But if it happens very frequently, say two times per month, I think I may get another job because I would lost my time to accompany my family.
