Joan Chen, Participant:

It was a sundrenched afternoon. The weather was perfect for a leisurely outing to the Istana. To my surprise, we were “welcomed” by security officers who “ordered” us to hand over our personal belongings and bag for security screening at the Istana gate!

After the security check, with a spring in my step, I entered the Istana. This time round I was being welcomed by the vast verdant fields! We found a shady area under a tree and sat down.

We chatted animatedly, laid around to read I weekly/ 8 days for the latest news on SA, some boisterous ones climbed the tree and folding paper planes to entertain my kids! I did not realize that there are so many different ways to fold a paper plane!

Thank you for organizing such a great outing! I enjoyed it tremendously.

这是我第一次参加IPC,没有什么任务,就是很轻松的跟Rangels随意聊聊,感觉大家很诗情画意,但是,是看周刊,哈哈.

有感动是有人为了我们出席而陪伴我们,因为这次无法睡眠,所以,也没有力气走去总统府的家,而我们就在绿油油的草地坐着,稍微聊聊天,轻轻松送度过了一个美丽的午后时光。
