Ecoventure 2010 -- walk the green talk

05 June 2010 was Day 1 of Ecoventure 2010.

On that day, we gathered at the Singapore Changi Airport, Budget Terminal, a mixture of different feelings from all of us. It was the first time I was at the Budget Terminal (add that to my list of "firsts"). Some of us were early, some of us were just in time and some of us were late. Wait - one of us wasn't even present! Cai Ping was down with food-poisoning! The news came as a shock to everyone and we hoped then that she would get well soon and join us as soon as she could.

As time was quickly ticking away, we made our way into the departure area.

Our flight was delayed but we were finally on our way!

We arrived in Vietnam in the evening, were greeted by our many friendly Vietnamese volunteers who have since come to become our close friends. After short introductions, as we were already running late, we hopped onto our bus and were headed for our hotel. Along the way, Hang introduced us to a brief history of Vietnam and the various landmarks we passed by along the way.

We unpacked in a rush and headed out again, first to dinner then to HCMCUT to prepare for our exhibition.

Back at the hotel after we did what we could at the university, I remember it was already rather late but that's not the end of the day for us yet! There's still more to go!

The whole Ecoventure team gathered together in a room for the debrief.

My team's performers working hard for their performance. I know they'll do really well! ^^

Thus, with hasty last minute preparation by everyone, the night continued until all was done...
