The One With HPAIR (Continued...)

The last blog entry threatened to crash on itself due to the numerous pictures, so here is a continuation of my blog on HPAIR. This will be my last blog for the day. The Gala Dinner was a bittersweet event, as we, the participants and speakers, were to part ways after that. The keynote speeches managed to captivate the audience with the urgent message about creating global citizens and future leaders who understand, and emphatise with each other. However, how can you put a bunch of young people together at a table with food, and not expect hilarity to commence? Here's how...

I had Duck #3 during the Gala dinner. They served two roasted pigeons too. As you can see, not much of it was eaten. Trivia Goddess remembered the fact that Pigeons carried cancer-causing stuff, and the fact that the HEAD of the pigeon was served, made her decide not to partake in the pigeon. My table-mates thought the head was a good photo-op, and put it on a spoon so that we can take proper pictures of it... Marc the Quebec-guy, also thought it will be funny to...

kiss the pigeon!! See how amused we were, and the awesome photo-op it presented. We were trying SO HARD to surpress our gigles as the speeches were still on, and people at other tables were already looking at us funny...
My roommate during my stay at the Hyatt - Jessica!
What more can I ask for?? Great people, great conference... It was an event to remember. Next - Trivia G's amazing trip through Beijing!!
