Taiwan, Here We Go!

A group of 10 Rotaractors led by President Harley of Rotaract Club of Subang will embark on a goodwill visit to Taiwan from 24th March 2006 to 30th March 2006.

It is very fortunate and exciting indeed that our club have 2 Rotaractors namely Harnniann and Engtee joining this trip.

This is the first time I go oversea with a group of youngsters purely for the purpose of international understanding and making new bonds and friendship. It will be very different from going oversea for study or family trip. I have always wanted to visit Taiwan because many of my friends had studied there. Well, I guess this is dream comes true (and at very low cost too! : ))

President Harley, our group leader, had worked very hard to ensure that this trip is a success. The draft programme schedule had been released and I wish to reproduce them below:-

I will post more regarding this Taiwan Goodwill Visit once we come back from Taiwan! Hopefully I will be able to share unforgetable moments with you!

Our club has idea of visiting Hong Kong during the next rotaract year. I sincerely hope that the next board of director can realise this dream. It would very fun to fly together as a club to oversea. Keeping fingers crossed!
