Four days. One unforgettable adventure. Countless memories.

As part of our 20th Anniversary celebration, our Non-Legal Staff enjoyed a memorable four-day getaway in Da Nang, Vietnam. From APEC Park, Dragon Bridge, and Han River to Linh Ung Pagoda, Bay Mau Coconut Forest, and the charming streets of Hoi An Ancient Town, every destination brought new experiences and wonderful memories.

We also explored the breathtaking Ba Na Hills, Golden Bridge, French Village, and Fantasy Park before ending the journey with a joyful Fellowship Night filled with laughter, music, games, stories, and good company.

More than a getaway, it was a chance to pause, reconnect, celebrate, and appreciate one another.

A well-deserved reward for our dedicated and hardworking Non-Legal Staff.

Thank you, Da Nang! Until our next adventure!
