The other company visit we went on today was Yong Xiang Furniture Factory, we lost our way to the factory again and ended up arriving pretty late.
Many of us made a beeline for the washroom the moment we alighted the bus. The toilets were shared again and as a result, there was a long queue. We also found another toilet in the second level, and it looked more like a store room than a wash room.
As it turns out, it was the wash room for the display area in the second floor. Oh, and its shared too. Nicholas and I had to 'guard' the place and take care of the girls' bags while they were in it.
We were given a tour of the manufacturing line and had the Q&A session on the move, however, the place was too nosy and Mr. Kam had to speak up for the lady.

We learnt that the factory was established in 1980s, and recently set up a separate factory for assembly, distribution in August 2004, the reason for the split in operations is due to overpollution.
It is the biggest furniture manufacturing and sales market in China and it manufactures and sells up to 2,000 - 3,000 sofas a year with most of its customers coming from the Middle East! Imagine that!
