[SCHOOL TRIP] Economics project in Sapa...(Second day)

Second day has begun. Rain showered the ground during the midnight.
My friend seems like he's satisfied by the weather.
We started hiking towards the homestay village.
A glimpse of Sapa from the mountain.
Local people were cultivating marijuana for clothing.
Duck family!
Little enjoyment during the hiking..!



Meanwhile in trekking track...
After 5 hours of non-stop hiking, we rest for 30 minutes. (basically water break) And asked local people about the quality of their life.
Continuing the hiking
Local kids were selling locally-produced goods to hikers such as us. They were meant to study by the time we were in that town, but it was very sad to see them working for their family.

Economic growth in Sapa brought lots of money in Sapa, but that money was always returned to people from the city, not locals.




The river was used for many uses. I could see some kids were swimming in the river.

I hiked approximately 15km and spent 10 hours to finish the hiking.
It was the first to hike over 10 hours and 15km.

Heat exhaustion made my body tired, but the memory that I made during this journey was remarkable.

[NORMAL DAYS IN KOREA] Review on Jamsil baseball stadium

As an avid Lotte Giants fan, I could not miss an opportunity to watch a match held in Seoul. There was a match between Lotte Giants and Doosan Bears on 23rd June. I had no hesitance to buy a ticket for that. I went to the stadium with my friend, who is a fan of the Doosan Bears. The ticket costs approximately $10.5 per person (weekday fare/The second floor and Infield seats). It was a reasonable price. This is a waiting queue to enter the baseball stadium. I could see many Lotte fans visit here to root for Lotte as I do. Basically, Jamsil Baseball Stadium is a baseball stadium located between the business area and the residential area of Seoul. Thereby Jamsil Stadium always has relatively more fans than those of any other stadiums.  Food that I ate in the stadium. Well-grilled Korean BBQ was a nice choice for me during watching a game. This is one of the remarkable rooting chants(?) ever I experienced in my life. This is basically a chant that disturbs...

[School activities] Finalizing gathering of items for the flea market&raffles

 Spring carnival will be held by tomorrow! Members of the flea market team have collected all boxes(items) from Kindergarten to Grade 12. And we priced on every single item. Even today, many students/teachers and staffs hand us their items. It was a calories-burning exercise for us to collect all of the items but it was fun! Some items were brand-new or seemed very fancy. So we gathered them into another group and put them into the main office. By 21st April 2017, we will sell items in the flea market and provide items for the raffle so I want as many people to come and join the event.

[After school activities] Checking water quality of water ecosystems in Hanoi

With the Environment Club CCP group, I went to several water ecosystems in Hanoi to check the water quality and how it's related with locals' life.  The first one is 'To Lich' river. This river usually called as 'Toilet river' by foreigners who live in Hanoi.  We could easily observe that the polluted water from sewages directly flowed to the river, which is serious point pollution.  To get better result, I took 1 litre of water from the river. The smell of the river was very stinky and I could observe the air (bubble) being popped in the river. I think To Lich river is highly toxic.  The second one is Ngoc Khanh lake. It is near to my school and the civil government had huge project to clean the ecosystem of Ngoc Khanh lake. They took off all of the water in the lake and cleaned the lakebed. After the cleaning, they put lake water back. In result, this lake became so much cleaner than the past times. Our CCP also took a liter of wat...
