We just ended our orientation program: lots of getting-to-know-yous, ice-breakers, information about classes, library visits and of course dinner.
The Student Council did a great job in making sure everything ran: the program, snacks (we had the sweetest and biggest grapes for tea break), games, and of course, the final night dinner (which came later than expected BUT tasted all the better).
The talks got everyone serious and laughing and seriously laughing all at the same time.
Jeannette's Conflict Resolution highlighted the need to resolve issues quickly. "And don't facebook your dissatisfaction!" Check.
YK's Cross-Cultural Adjustments explained how the innocent "tsk tsk tsk", "can can" and "chope" could be misunderstood.
The games were hilarious.
Who knew Byju's new bride and David Kim could be hilarious!
While the new students were shy, they seemed to settle in well.
We already know Dunstan from Brunei could joke - in English, Mandarin and Hakka.
Stephen from the Philippines is quite the photographer and video enthusiast.
Looking forward to a brand new year.
