Old school visit & flight to Moo Yee Shan

We started the morning with a visit to the old school. The Principals showed us the new facilities and future plans for the expansion of the school campus and branch into college levels. Lunch was held at a chinese restaurant near the school. During the luncheon, the money collected for the building-fund of the primary school and high school was presented to the two Principals. After lunch, Daniel rushed off to find his bank again, even though we were told there is none around the restaurant. I went with my new friend to the drugstore to get some medicine to fight mosquito. then we realize it was time for us to get back to the school to fetch out luggages, for the two buses had to leave the campus by 3:00pm - time for the kids to get off from the school. We ran back upstair for our bags which were the last ones left in the room. Everyone we ran into keep telling us to hurry up. Imaging me dragging the unlevel 3-legged suitcase, plus our travelling bag down the stairs. We thought the bus is waiting outside the school. After turning around the street corner and found no sight of the bus, we hurried to turn around only to find the school gate was locked and the buses were waiting inside. While we were yelling to get someone to open the gate for us, luckily we found Daniel coming back towards us. I was afraid we would have to leave without him. I was quite relieved to have him take one piece of our luggage for me. Guess what, he cared less for anything, left me with the two luggages and took off for the restroom. The 3 legged suitcase kept twisting around, making it very hard for me to drag them to the bus. One of his schoolmate came to my help and sent me straight up the bus. Oh, I felt so bad that we all had to wait for him. The bus sped off and headed for the airport the minute he climbed up.

We had to wait for quite a long time at the airport before it was time for boarding. the flight was about one hour. We were served with a simple snack. By the time we arrived at Moo Yee Shan, it was dark. The local tourist guide took us straight to the dining hall and distributed the hotel room keys to us after dinner. That concluded all the activity of this date.
