International Trip - The Decision

Before there was 1 - there was 4: Hong Kong/Beijing; Hong Kong/Tokyo; Santiago/Buenos Aires; Dubai/Bangalore.

The Dubai/Bangalore trip was popular however there were two drawbacks: the time to be spent in the air and the school was finding it difficult to find a tour operator. However, the school said that if the class voted for that trip, the would work something out. This trip got a boost earlier that day when a manager from Emirates Cargo came to talk to us about his company and what it is like to travel to and visit Dubai.

The Santiago/Buenos Aires team brought in a case of wine to help "smooth" the voting. The Hong Kong/Tokyo team had a member that was willing to pay for all drinks on the flights! All is fair in the voting process apparently.

The rules were set out - simple majority of votes wins. There were 35 students casting votes - first group to 18 votes wins.

ROUND 1
Hong Kong/Beijing dropped out of the voting. There was a general feeling that this trip was two cities in one country although vastly different.

ROUND 2
Dubai/Bangalore dropped out.

Down to South America and Asia. The bidding war went up when it was pointed out that there may be free drinks on international flights and promises of fully paid nights out were flying all over the place.

FINAL ROUND

Hong Kong/Tokyo is the WINNER!!!

Everyone is very excited and looking forward to the trip - not just because it is the culmination of two years of seriously hard work.

Switched out the cartridge, exact same concern with grinding.
Don't know exactly what to do since its 6 years old, and no genuine repair work places. I may tear it apart and consider it. Thanks.

Hello, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet
Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!

Other then that, amazing blog!
