Third day - 9th June
We had arts workshop today. We are separated into 3 different groups and places into three different lecture hall. We learnt 3 different language which is Korean, Japanese and German.
Go-ma-wo-yo, arigato gozaimasu, danke.
(Thank you in 3 languages)
Later on we have a lecture on linguistic workshop which now only I know there are more than 6000 language in the whole world and the biggest language in the world is not English but Chinese because they have the highest people to lecturers ratio.
After that is the philosophy workshop which made us think what is happiness and meaning of life.
If there are a machine that can brings you to the future, will you try on it?
What is happiness?
Try to think about it. =)
Afternoon session we went to visit St. Pauls Co-ed College. They had a music performance for us. Quite nice and enjoying, especially the choir and the clarinet. Later on the students from the college lead us for a heritage walk along Hong Kong park. Our group have Cynthia leading us, a sweet girl. =) We visited the visual arts museum, bird park and the Olympic square.

After discussing, we decided to went up Swire Hall first to obtain our writing materials as I think not much people will go there. As expected, we were the first group to reach there. We were asked to identify 25 the important things, people or building in the specific country around the world. Khai Liang was the only one that keep answering throughout the session. Amazingly, we complete the task within 5 minute and we successfully chose the writing materials we want.
Next, we ran to Main Library there to ask for our adhesion materials. At that station, we were ask to explain out the phrases about green environment without saying our the words for out team mates to guess. Thirdly, we went to Shaw buildings to obtain our cutting materials. In that station, we have to arranged out the location of hostel of HKU on the map. We did it in a short period as there were explanation given and we did some cheats too. XD
After that we went to the paper station to get some paper. We have to learn an African Dance before we can get our paper. The dance is mostly based on the sound of clapping. It has to be fast and the timing have to be very accurate. It was fun to learn it.
We was the last group to reach the last station for the extra materials. The task there is to identify the national flags of different countries and say 'Thank You' using their countries' national language. The last thing we got from there was a smiley cop.
Overall, the materials we got can be considered not bad. The paper is just sufficient for us, we got glue, scissors and marker pens. The only thing we lack of is pencil. Therefore, we exchanged out marker with a pencil which enable us to draw.
We were very satisfied on our final product as it was really nice. We had a buffet dinner in between the preparation time and some of us just ate a little as we were busy decorating the card.
