Hello everyone !
This is Ingrid.
*inhales* ( This my first time blogging here. )
Ok... Today is the fifth day. Hmmm...We have a rather relaxed day. It's afterall the rest and recreation day. We had a boat ride in the morning. Then we went to the pottery village to look at how they make pots. That pottery village was established all the way back to the 6th century . My goodness. That's 500 years ago ! I went to try to make a pot and I realised that hey it is not that easy. It's all manual work. I think if they were to use machines , it wouldn't be so authentic. Then we went off to a woodscraft shop and we went to view the making of a boat. If you realised all the places that we have toured today , the workers there needs alot of skills to make those things . So for those who have bought stuff today, you are actually paying for their skills and hard work. Then we went for lunch . And after lunch, it's free and easy till 8pm and then there's a meeting. After all the hard work that we have done at the orphanage , we got ourselves dirty and worn out , I must say we deserve a very good break. Enjoy eating out for dinner tonight and have a wonderful time for tomorrow's outing with the kids !

Ingrid =)
