Many of my friends now are busy in programming their show and dance. So, you can imagine how busy the restaurants are in China now. Conventionally, companies will reward selected employees and game winners. Do you know what those awards are? iPod, iPhone, iPad, itouch are common ones, some companies even award employees with money that equals to their 27 month salary, really attractive, right? I checked online that this annual dinner culture was introduced from Taiwan, where they call it “尾牙”. How about in foreign countries? do you have any similar annual party in any form?

So, is there anything related with corruption here? Companies award their employee because they have done hard work to get profit for their company. For government staff, they enjoy many social benefits, so they should not ask for much if they have heart to serve people!

Me too, but lucky for me I have friends who share with me their luck and best wishes! Good luck and great success in the coming New Year!

My company afforded for all the cost of our annual dinner and prizes.

There are of course certain allocations at the Ministrial and Departmental levels to hold luncheon for certain functions which will be audited annually. When we don't work for the government we do not know its procedures. Wan
