Finally, I can write about Asia Pasific Dental Student Association (APDSA) 2008!!!
I think it’s gonna be quite expired to tell, but it’s so difficult to me for having a spare time in last two weeks to write so many APDSA’s experiences….tell you what, it’s my 1st APDSA, last year I didn’t join the Taiwan’s APDSA…I took a role as a group leader and I had never realized that APDSA would give me so much fun!!
This post contains more pictures and lomographs than words themselves, hahah, because i’m such lazy writer…but picture talks more than words, doesn’t it? heheh, lame excuse..
Ah, for your information, I use Kodak GOLD ISO 200 for my fisheye 2…
August 9th-10th: Arrival and the Preparation
Me and my friends from University of Indonesia came to Surabaya 2 days earlier than the participants (so did Padjajaran and Trisakti University), for giving some aids to the Airlangga University’s LOC to be well prepared…Salute for Airlangga’s LOC, they are just 33 people, but they can prepare this event in a great way!!! Kudos for ya!!

August 11th: Delegation Arrival and Opening Ceremony
I was doing registration on that day, eerrr, not the registration officially…I was just helping the registration crew to find the correct size of participants’ shirts…ahah, quite simple, but when in the rush hour I must do the max acceleration…
After that, opening ceremony!! I did the food parade and then met my group members…Ah, okay, they are Indah and Natalia (Indonesia); Anne, Elma, Justin and Eric (Taiwan); Ayaka (Japan); Lottie (Korea); Man, Shikin, and Harry (Malaysia)

August 13th: Lecture and Cultural Night
Time for lectures again!! got some quotes here:
God gives you 2 sets of teeth, “FREE”….The 3rd set, you have to pay!
Profit is not the dirty word
A wealthy man is a dreamer with the deadline
Aha, what a quote!!!
And that night we had cultural night at Airlangga University, kinda weird seeing so many different traditional costumes worn by participants, give the fact that so many cultures exist in Asia!! but it’s very fun though!!!

August 15th: Local Tour and Closing Ceremony
Since I didn’t join that Mount Bromo tour, I went for local tour: Airlangga University- House of Sampoerna- Mirota…and that night was my last night in Surabaya, we did the Closing Ceremony…Man got 3rd position for SRC and my friends (Alit, Dwee, Elien) got 5th…Oh ya, Man became king of group 23, and Elma took the Queen…Finally, I tried Rawon Setan (in front of my hotel, JW Marriott) at that night and then went to Drago Cafe…
