Day3, old folks home visit in the rural areas
Greetings by our Host & Rotaract Medan President at the airport
Thats for the primary kids!
encountering years of dust, lizard waste, dried urine, all packaged with a trademark smell...
followed by a visit to the medan wildlife museum before calling day 3 in close
with rather neat scenes as well!
mind the pic, my hands were hungrily trembling! (shown as sotong, wings, hotdogs, bbq fish, satay, beehoon, cumber/onions)
ending with a gift of appreciation to the president herself
1st Dive Briefing by our instructor thereafter
& how can we forget the dive center?
Getting used to Medan Traffic
me & our divemaster by the sea bed corals
coral hide & seek
their basic grooming are cared for
me wishes for better underwater camera
sea cucumber family! (I should seriously stop this)
where we had karaoke and some partying with the elders
me & my dive buddy, Ridzwan
you need to be there to experience the full extent of the beautiful sunset there
RZ: underwater kapow!
Visit to the local wet market
we had a rewarding meal at the end of the long day...
Buddy Ridzwan's wetsuit pose
a memorable night!
where the children have to guess & answers posed to them in english
we met another dive group who were doing dive buoy practices
And look what we found!
returning to the jetty
we play largely knowledge based english games like trival (wheel of fortune) & hangman
while the rest of us went about sweeping, wiping and mopping the premises
the 1st day saw a drawing or fitting equipment
With a free dialysis center
A night at Merdeka Walk
nope I didn't fart!
now wheres nemo?
And do they love balloons...
coral reef exploration
some stories from the patients can be rather sad too
The patients are all locked up in long houses, while the ones deemed normal are allowed to roam the area
starting on decent
totally rocks man!
see sea cucumber!
Day4, Visit to the Government Mental Hospital
All board to Medan!
more sea cucumber goodies!
deep exploration starts
There Dr wilson gave us a tour and practises the hospital has in treating and handling mental patients.
