San Miguel National High School welcomes the German group
Tuesday, 26 June, 2018 --- Arrival in Puerto Princesa
Sorry for not reporting yesterday, we were so excited to see our host families so there was no space for the blog.
Filipino and German students travelled separately to Puerto Princesa so we had a really nice reunion there. It is an absolutely breathtaking place in the middle of the green heart of Palawan.
When we arrived at the airport a multicab fetched us and brought us directly to San Miguel National High School where the students had prepared a short program. The Germans were really surprised and shocked because of the warm welcome wherein the whole school was involved.
The Germans had a short presentation in different classes about their life, Germany and their hobbies and families. The students of San Miguel National High School took pictures and had an answer and question portion with the Germans which amazed them. Afterwards a break with different sorts of rice cakes followed. Around five o'clock our host families picked us up.
Wednesday, 27 June, 2018 --- Second day in Puerto Princesa
After having breakfast in the host families we met altogether at Sunlight Hotel for our Evaluation. Our works were posted on the wall to remind us what we worked on in Tagaytay and Manila in the past days.
In the beginning we reflected our first night in the foster families. An activity followed wherein we are tasked to plan what we will do with the information the guests speakers discussed to us during the workshops.
Before taking lunch we went on the wet market of Puerto Princesa where we saw lots of different foods. A delicious lunch in the hotel and a view on the Puerto Princesa Bay from above followed before we continued our Evaluation.
As a way of waking us up because of the time, we danced Zumba with the music Girl in the Mirror. It was funny! An individual activity followed where we picked one image and explained it to the group. Another one was tasked to us where we drew our hand and wrote our answers on it.
In the late afternoon we will take some time to go to the bay of Puerto Princesa, before it was all water, but now it is covered with land.
