Sweden-Bound Student Outing
Saturday, December 10, 2005
Had an outing with fellow students going to Sweden next semester. Our Yahoo! Groups included students from NUS, NTU and SMU; going on exchange or NOC. I became the IC of this outing unconciously when I suggested the meeting place and time. Like what Danwei did during our VV2003 outing, I took attendance. This was especially important in this outing since we don't want to leave anyone behind.
The group decided on something cheap; so we went to Raffles City Food Junction. Everyone was excited talking about our travelling plans, the parties in Sweden, a proposed gathering in Sweden... Jerald (NUS Yr 3 PS) gave us a tutorial on electrical plugs in Sweden and the most cost-effective methods of transferring money there. Junde (moderator of Yahoo! Group) suggested posting lecture notes in the Files section. Leng Lee became the secretary of the Group when she pulled out a typed contact list for everyone to counter-check their contact details. Seems like many wants to watch the World Cup in Germany, but the exorbitant ticket price and more importantly the sold-out situation made this wish very expensive and almost impossible to fulfil.
Will be on the same flight with Alec (NUS Yr 3 SDE). Flying 10 Jan 0100 (Singapore time) and will reach Copenhagen 10 Jan 0730. The flying time is ~13 h but since Denmark is 7 hours behind us so it seems like the flight took 6 hours if we look at our watch. Will be staying at a hostel for one night and also tour around Copenhagen for a day. Jerald will arrive on 11 Jan 0630 (Meeting him for breakfast) and Sharmaine 11 Jan 1000 so the four of us will most prob. proceed from Copenhagen to Lund together.
