• To decide the numbers of the clubs to be set up as well as the time schedule and their activities, based on the applications submitted by PYs.
• To reserve the room/place for each club activity.

SSEAYP 2010 Singapore Contingent boards Fuji Maru

SPY10s had our last breakfast at the National Youth Center (NYC). We are so going to miss the one-man-one-room accomodation at the NYC.

In the afternoon, we headed to Yokohama Port, where the majestic Fuji Maru awaits us.

Today we board the Fuji Maru (some call it the Love Ship)!

After getting ourselves oriented to the various venues within Fuji Maru, we enjoyed our first dinner on this ship, which we will be our home for the next few weeks...
