Day 3!

Our third day started with rain, rain, and some more rain. 

We went to Heilwig (which is another school) and our day at school started with an activity which involved getting to know each other after a long break. We were provided with a set of questions that we had to find answers to from people from the other country. During this activity, we got to know quite a bit about each other. It was interesting to get know little, but interesting things about each other. 

We had another team building activity. each group of six were given forty straws and some tape. The task was to create the tallest structure out of those forty straws. Through this activity we got to know where we stood in the group and what role each of us played in producing the final result. Simran's team win that with their structure being 2.20 m. 

We had lunch at the canteen in school, after which we went Hafen City. Marilla's father, Mr. Perry, was our guide. 

He told us all about the old buildings and the new ones. He kept us engrossed throughout the afternoon. He told us about the various methods of energy conservation used in the buildings. 

The weather played spoilt sport and it started to pour in the middle of our little excursion. We ran into the Unilever building. And even there, Mr. Perry told us how the building one of the most modern and hi-tech buildings in Hafen City. 

The day ended with a huge storm and all of us dispersing and heading back home after a long and rather eventful day.
