TECH TALES AND TRAVELS | The Bosch Experience 2014 took six young people on a whirlwind adventure of a lifetime (rage.my/content/stories/tech-tales-and-travels/) IT sounds like a staggering figure, but 50,000 people from around the world applied for the chance to become a Bosch Explorer. However, only a select few received the golden (airline) ticket. Loh Hong Khai, 22, was one from that fortunate bunch. “I went blank! I was like, ‘Wait, is this real?’” said Loh with a laugh, recalling the moment he received news that he had won a place on the Bosch World Experience 2014, where six Bosch Explorers travel to six different countries in 16 days to experience Bosch technology first-hand. “Of course, I really wanted to be part of the six,” he said. “But with 50,000 applicants, I thought the chances of me winning were slim,” explained the University Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) student, who is majoring in electronics and communications engineering. “Given my background, this experience was very close to my heart.” And indeed, it was technology galore. The six winners – Loh, Tolgay Azman, 24, from Germany, Amy Watkins, 22, from the United States, Luiz Junior Fernandes, 32, from Brazil, Roy van den Heuvel, 24, from the Netherlands, and Yanru Xia, 23, from China – were whisked off for a 16-day adventure beginning in London on July 20 and ending in Singapore on Aug 6.
