On March 12th, Siveco Shanghai organized a team building day to relax, have fun and get to know new colleagues better. Activities not only included sports such as archery, table tennis and basketball shots, but also a stimulating while unfair counter-strike game between men and women. KTV is a must for the playful Siveco team and as usual, the day ended with nice food and beer!

As a French and also Siveco tradition, our Shanghai team celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany, also known as the Three Kings Festival on January 6. To celebrate the visit of the Three Magi to baby Jesus, the team gathered to share the ”galette des rois” (kings’ cake), and wine. Whoever finds the trinket in the cake is crowned king for the day. This year, we had the pleasure of welcoming two queens, Shirley and Amy!

On December 23, the Siveco China team held its traditional Christmas party. The theme this year was “Journey to the West” meets Bollywood! We had several Bollywood stars, Priest Tangseng and his disciples, Bull Demon King (and foxy lady demon!), Spider Monsters, Erlang Shen and other monsters in the famous Journey to the West legend. The party was such a fun with Indian buffet, costumes and… a surprise dance show by the Four Beauties from “India”!

On Nov. 14th, the Siveco Shanghai team went to Gucun Park for team building.We had a really delicious barbeque lunch there and played squeezing balloons, tug of war and the most popular game “nametag ripping battle”. Poor people who lost the game got punished to jump roping on shiatsu sheet. Since everyone had a great time with two cute little members, we are looking forward to a family day next time.
