Arrival and Set-up

The team arrived in Winnepeg afer an uneventful flight, and our Winnipeg host committee volunteers were ready and waiting to help us with our project bags and directions. A short bus ride later we were on the University of Manitoba campus, and a quick boxed dinner was waiting. Soon after we were up in our rooms, ready for the night.

Sunday was project set-up day, and everything went off smooth once again. All that practice pays off! No bags were lost or misplaced, so with the expected BASEF-student efficiency all the projects were up and ready for safety check before lunch. Everyone passed safety check smoothly, so it was time to relax a bit.

The evening opening cerimonies were great and enjoyed by all. The Leuitenent Governor of Manitoba was one of many to give us welcome, and we were entertained with some great dances from Chinese, Irish, Fillipino and Ukranian dance performers. Dinner was wonderful too, and it was followed by the student dance that was also a highlight for many of our team.

Pictures will have to wait until we can get a better internet connection - look for them to come soon!
