Hi everyone the red team is in Jerusalem Isreal together with the rest of the southbound and northbound teams. It is a real blessing to be here and we have explored the city and visited the mount of olives, the garden tomb, the wailing wall etc. We are also going to Bethlehem tomorrow.

The GC team split up into three teams - two being up to Thailand, and one staying in Kuala Lumpur. The red team are the only lucky ones who are all in one team!

We had a wonderful week of debrief in Macau!
And since we didn't have any time for a challenge in China, Sulene thought it wise to give the teams the opportunity to get to see Macau's interesting places, in other words ... a challenge!
Proud to announce that the red team was the winners (!), though humbly sharing their first place with the orange team!
Here we are at the lighthouse at the Guia fortress (Elizma's GC shirt has
just been washed when the challenge was announced!)
Red Team Update - 27 March 2008
To put our first week's experiences in China into words is kind of impossible! Let's try anyway! Mondaymorning we were stopped at the borderpost while trying to get over the border from Macau. Hector were one of the two lucky one's who got to get over and sat eating KFC in China while we were surviving on duty-free sweets in no-man's-land! Eight hours and a complete baggage search later, we were allowed to grab our stuff and run over, as our bus was about to leave in a few minutes! Few hours later everyone was settled on the train for our 2 and a half days journey up north.
