Before start I have to thank Prof. Wang and Alex that help to make this trip true, Dr. Wang pay all the car expenses, and give us a place to sleep in Hsin Chu, and Alex that arrange the factory visits with Dr. Wang help. I know it was very difficult for Alex coz many factories denied the entrance, but at the end we had two good and interesting factories to visit, one is compressor company and the other is steel company.
The date was at the lab at 9 am and we are supposed to come with our breakfast so we do not have to waste time in buying but most of the people did not prepare and we leaved the lab at 9:40 more or less, I have the pleasure to trip with Vic, Alex, and Jerry, it was nice trip, we play some old Taiwanese singer cassette, later one after one and a half or two hours of trip we arrive rechi, by the way Alex is an excellent driver.
Rechi is a company dedicated to the manufacturing of compressors, they have much kind of compressors and much size of diameter of each kind, the main use of these compressors is the air conditioner. They said they own big part of the market here in Asia and big part in USA, and they want to get new customers in countries like Latin America and Europe. After the presentation we visit the company installation and the first we saw is our study area, the department of Quality Control, later on, we saw machining areas, later on assembly areas and we finish our company visit. For the end they invite us the lunch, for my good luck they have chicken stake and green vegetables, that is the thing I eat almost every day. Finally we took picture in the entrance of the company. Next I attach website, if you want to make business or know more about the company.

After that we come back to the car and my good friend Alex drive for other 2 hours more or less, we move from Taoyuan to Miaoli, I fall sleep in this trip and did not have the opportunity to enjoy the amazing Taiwan landscape, when I woke up, we was already in the next factory Dong He steel company.
Dong He steel company is very big company dedicated to the manufacturing of steel beans (H and I), and many other products, Dong He steel company owns the Taiwanese market and have some exportations, know they export to Arabic countries, and they become really strong recently because of the quality of their products and their efficiency. The speaker told us that the owner have some really cool policy about salary, each working member salary is in percentage of his own salary, so the lower level workers won around 10% of his salary, so is more fair for everybody. After the introduction of the factory we went to see the process, first we saw the recycling warehouse, with lots of tons of steel ready to be use again, later on we move to the casting area, so pity for some electricity fee policies, they were stopped until afternoon, so we could not see the process. Finally we move to the rolling and cutting process I saw before one steel rolling process in Shang Hai China but it was different product, in this case it was H bean, is amazing how they mold the steel, like if it was plasticine. At the end we came back and took the photo with at the entrance, they have a very beautiful and modern building. There is many things I can say about this company and the other one, but I leave you the web pages if you want more information.

After that we travel to Dr. Wang home in Hsin Chu, the back trip was ok, I enjoy the landscape, and time with my trip mates, in the way I saw the sea, and some amazing winter energy makers, sorry I do not have the exact word, with me, but is amazing big mills, what tell me how Taiwan start to use green energy. After long way we arrive Hsin Chu, we stop to make some important questions to the Ping Lan ladies, and one friend from Chile got very good picture of one of them. Later on we arrive to a restaurant where we met Dr. Wang first generation student, he is very nice guy, and he will retire before 40 years old, coz he have been working very hard, I discover he has some similar plan like I have for the retirement, go to farming for him and his family, that is very nice, and healthy, later on he start talking about his working experience and how he claim that fast working places. The food was very expensive, and the place looks very expensive, for my taste some times it was too Taiwanese but some was very good, at the end, Dr. Wang pay for us, so thanks Dr. Wang, we finish meal and went Dr. Wang house for sleep.
Dr. Wang has very big house in Hsin Chu his parents leave it for him and later on, he said he expend 6 million in renovate it, but after it, he did not have time to go there and finish it, even when everything is new, and very expensive, is kind of dirty, coz no body live there and Dr. Wang do not have time to go and clean, but as I said is really big place and very pretty. We had to clean the floor where we going to sleep, so the first thing we do is cleaning, and after that everybody was so tired and exhausted that we decide to go for a beer (in my case one big bottle of water) we came back to the house, and talk for around 3 hours, but the problem is that my friend Jerry and Brian are not use to drink and with one beer they were drunk so it was funny how they act, and how red was their face, finally they got better sleep coz they were drunk.
Next day we woke up, and went to have breakfast at Hsin Chu center I hate some meet balls and rice noodle, my favorite now, finally we got very famous dessert next to the market where we had breakfast, and come back to Taipei.
I have to thanks again Dr. Wang, Alex, and my friends for this trip, this kind of trip not only help you to better know the industry that is useful for your career, also are memories that I will keep for my live, and help to make stronger friendship relation.
