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!

6. How old do you think the workers here are, on average?
The workers are about 25 years old in average.


Sterling Styles factory was safer than other factories because the workers had to be over 19 years old and under 40 for safety reasons, and they had to wear masks.

Up2Date apparel office was an export office. They sent clothes to European companies but did not sell their clothes in Bangladesh.
