Day 2 : early visit to Brismark

Day 2 : Brismark

It was another early morning. I woke up at 5:30! It was so terrible to get out of the warm and comfortable bed. There is a reason why we have to wake up so early in the morning. We visited the Brisbane Market, as know as Brismark.

After arriving the market, the first impression was busy and busy.... there are trucks and vans running all around the market with tones of fruits and vegetables. We first started with the visit with a bus tour. Vanessa introduced every part of the market. After that, we walked on our aisle of the market and talked with the different owners of the stores.

After the visit, we now understand much more about this industry.

- demand
- supply
- quality These are the three key determinants to the business. It is important that we know how much our product worth. Consistency is one of the other important to provide value to customers. Quality is the key to keep the long term relationship with the customers. It is all about the expect of customers and the price of the products. What do customers want? They use their instinct to determine what is good for them. This is the nature of human and the basic of this industry.

It was still pretty early after this company visit. We then visited this beautiful and peaceful city. We visited the interesting farmers market, which has raw-milk cheese for sale (illegal in Victoria, but not in Queensland).

In the evening, around ten of us headed to the Casino and played some games. It was so fun and we have won our meals back! Can't believe that!
