If your boss offered you an all-expenses-paid vacation in France, your first reaction might be to wonder if it were April Fool's Day. But for 6,400 employees of China's Tiens Group, the offer was no joke.
To mark the company's 20th birthday, Tiens sent employees to Paris, where they were treated to a private tour of the Louvre. After spending two days in Paris, the employees enjoyed another two days in Nice, a southern resort town.
While in Nice, the employees broke a Guinness World Record for "forming the largest human sentence," CNN reports. They spelled out "Tiens' dream is nice in the Cote d'Azur."
