Today is the last day for visiting NGTHS. Tears drops. T_T
It's the saddest episode for both NVSS pupils and NGTHS pupils.
Buddies of NVSS students got settled in the hall and wait patiently for the rest of the pupils to arrive. Soon the classes of the buddies came down from their classes and join the rest in the hall. The principal of NGTHS gave a speech and there were a performance put up by the Vietnamese student of grade Nine Fifthteen. Then came a reflection presentation by NVSS students and a speech by Mr How on behalf of Mr Yeo, our principal. There was a combine performance put up by 27 NVSS students with the participating buddies, singing four songs that was being practiced yesterday, 6 November 2008. After the performance, it was time to exchange gifts and/ or souvenirs between the Vietnamese and Singaporeans pupils. Everyone was enjoying the last few moments being together. There was a short video, taken during the five days of school we have attended, being played. And finally, after the video, the Singaporeans have to leave the school.
A group photo, taken with the participating buddies and NVSS pupils, was being taken before we left the school.
We went for lunch and headed back to the hotel to get changed for our next destination for the day, the Cu Chi Tunnel. We've gotten knowledge of Vietnam's War History. We walked through the jungle and the tunnel too. We've also seen how traps are being hidden so well that we could not see it. Pupils also did try going into some hidden places and crawling through a long narrow tunnel.
That was the end of day 6's journey.
On behalf of NVSS students, I'll like to thank NGTHS and the participating pupils for their warmest welcome and the host's family for making us feels at home during the home stay.
