& see how big their fruits are!
a farewell shot before leaving the highlands
a memorable night!
A night at Merdeka Walk
A night to remember!
a singing performance!
All board to Medan!
all board!
And balloons come standard!
And do they love balloons...
And look what we found!
and Ning's speciality chocolate fondue
and there's cake for everyone!
and there's gifts for everybody!
and we even get to ride some back at the resort
before heading to the local supermarket to purchase our BBQ items for Day5
besides entertaining them in the common area
but the rewards at the end are priceless...
Close up of the donated machines

Dinner that night was at our very hospitable rotary president's home again
Dinner that night was at the rotary president residence
don't you take my sotong balls! (repeat in indian accent)
encountering years of dust, lizard waste, dried urine, all packaged with a trademark smell...
Ending with a christmas song before school dismissal.
ending with a gift of appreciation to the president herself
followed by a visit to the medan wildlife museum before calling day 3 in close
For the secondary students
Getting to know the blind massage personel
Getting used to Medan Traffic
Greetings by our Host & Rotaract Medan President at the airport
Hangman games with secondary classes
Here we are at the school
here, we make the balloons as prizes
including the elders themselves!
including the washing of their feets...
it's a free old folks home, run purely on donations
it's a hit with the kids, not to mention interactive, the one with the correct answer gets a balloon prize.
it's almost like genting, foggy and cloudy but not too cold either
it's farewell at the airport after our last fellowship dinner with the hosts
it's tedious cleaning up a very run down place
