At the beginning, we don’t know each other. But it was easy to understand who are the Japanese students, they all use their Japanese name. Akin and Fuji both are the Japanese students, and Woodstock is Taiwanese student. Totally have four people in our group. My partners was a little of shy in the chatting room. After we start the theme, we had a good negotiation.
We decided to build the international travel agency, because local travel agency has no profit, international travel agency has a lot of profits. We discussed very long about the place of our company. Every city has many different advantage and disadvantage. Finally, we deleted a part of cities, and we chose between Tokyo and Taipei. We thought Taipei is safety than Tokyo, and then everyone agrees with Taipei. Our lenders are Akin and Woodstock, they could control the project.
I had been chatted with an overseas Taiwanese who comes from Vienna on the internet just one time. Chatting room is a novelty with me. We discussing the theme and using knowledge of each other to finish the same goal. This local geography only the local understands. If we do not try to touch foreign information, we maybe never know the detail of other countries clean.
