27 bags...

i am totally amused and is still find it unbelievable after hearing this from my boss. imagine my franchisees went for our international conference in orlando and they were more concern with shopping instead of attending the conference break-out sessions that they skipped the sessions! and mind you, we are not talking about a bunch of girls here, but a whole group of guys (ok, 1 of them brought along his wife). anyway, what shocked me more was 1 of them actually bought 26 bags in total (from Cxxxh & Kxxx Sxxxx)! my goodness! craziness. i know US currency is down, these brands are cheaper in US, but 26?. They even tried to get my boss to carry it back for them because he was on business class (which has additional allowance), but he refused! is it me? i know most of us want to take opportunity during business trips for shopping or sight seeing. but shouldn't priority be work? otherwise, just extend for shopping trip? oh well... anyway, the joke of my team now is for me to target 27 bags purchase in my next conference. and my boss said he will carry for me! LOL! haha!
