Since our introduction blog, the marketing and culture team has been hard at work searching for adventurous activities that we can take part in while exploring Indonesia.  It’s no secret that the country has a wide variety of exciting activities that allow for us to both take part in the deep-rooted culture as well as experience the breathtaking views that Indonesian nature has to offer.

As we near the end of the term and eventually set out for our International Study Course trip, our team has been figuring out various logistics and details needed to make the trip as successful as possible.

We hope this blog can be helpful; whether it be for the next vacation you have lined up or for a future AFM 334 course trip you take part in!

As someone who hails from an Asian country, I am highly intrigued by cross-cultural business practices in the Asia-Pacific region. I have always been fascinated by the similarities in cultures and business etiquette across Asian countries, and I believe that these similarities can be leveraged by companies to expand their operations across different Asian markets.
