Answer one of the above questions and add two points of observation or reflection from the day abouts the two places we visited (Sterling Styles factory and Up2Date apparel office). Also you can compose a question that you may have from our flex day adventures. You should post these three items on your blog page.
1) answer a question 2) make two observations or reflections (or write your own questions that you may have) Three things in total!

question #6: In average, I think the workers' ages are around the age 35. The reason is, because no factory wants to have an old man as a worker, or too young man or kid has a worker. So, I think the best age is around 35 because a man should have a god enough strength, and good enough thinking.

I never knew that Bangladesh country side can have a clean factory that makes a good quality clothes.

The question that I still have is that how do they teach all those employees in that huge factory? When they first build that factory, it could have taken years to teach all those employees. I still can't believe that there are factories with that good quality in Bangladesh country side.
