Day 1 -leaving our homeland... Nabillah

On the 10th of November, we left our family members for Japan. We left for a Science Immersion Trip mainly to learn more about their culture & technology. But the main highlight of this trip is the 3 days school immersion programme. This is the first time we departed at Terminal 3. It was a brand new experience for all of us.

It was not easy leaving our family members behind, but on the other hand, we will benefit a lot from the immersion trip. It is an opportunity that not many Evgians are offered, and therefore we are very lucky.

We reached Terminal 3 at around 10pm. After a short briefing, we were given our passport and were told to check in. After checking in, we were given time to spent with our loved ones for the last moment before our departure. Before we left, we took a group photo at terminal 3. We bided our last goodbye and checked in.

We went to Burger King as a group and had some light snacks. For the first tine we were so united. We boarded the plane and flew off to Japan. We wanted to write down our thoughts before boarding the plane, but due to the lack of internet connection, we can't do our blogging.

On the plane all of us were so excited that we could not stay still in our seats. Some were listening to their MP3, some watching the latest movie on Kris World and some were playing games on Kris World. At around 2 a.m. most of us fell asleep. It was a five and a half hour journey. In Japan time 8 a.m. we finally reach Japan.

We are really excited about the whole trip and are anticipating to learn more about their culture and experience something we have never tried before.
