Last night at midnight we welcomed in two more student volunteer teams, ok actually Mike welcomed them last night while I slept. Lame I know, but in my defense I have been sick for about a week. So this morning all ten of them came over for breakfast and orientation. By the way I'll be making dinner for about 17 people every week this summer so if anyone has any recipes that are good to make in large quantities, send them my way.
After orientation we sent them on an epic trek through the city. Busses, taxis, campuses, pictures, food, changing money... the idea is to teach them everything they need to know about the city in one day so they can function for the next two months. All the teams pictorally document each task and the team that returns with the best pics wins. So far we don't have a prize, but they don't need to know that.
Here are a few of the bonus point tasks...
-Split pants (10pts)
-A sqatty potty (5 pts)
-A guy making noodles (20pts)
-A tiny vehicle carrying a ton of stuff (10pts)
-An awesome Chinese guy haircut (10pts) (10 extra points if your picture is the (fiercest)
-3 people on an e-bike (30 pts)
-Ride a bus (20pts) what was your bus number?
-Ride a taxi (10pts) where did you go?
-Ride a rickshaw, SanLunChe, or Moped (30pts)
-A team member eating stinky tofu (40pts)
most EXCELLET challenge!
