Communicating back home online via web cam

We will be bringing webcams along with us, so it's possible to do video conferencing for free with loved ones back home.

Pre-requisites:
--------------
(a) Computer with webcam
(b) Skype software for video conferencing (free download)

It works just like MSN. First, you'll have to download Skype for free here: http://skype.com

After installation, create a new account. Once you're logged in, you can search for your family's Skype accounts.

Once you have added them, you can do video calls with them. Even without a webcam, you can still do instant messaging with your family. It's free, compared to a phone call, and for most cases, it's just as effective as a form of communications.

We hope to be connected by the first night from 9 pm to 10 pm (Singapore time). Look out for our Skype names: northviewone and northviewtwo
