Bah?

Never thought anything like this would happen. It was a slow morning. Gary slept in a bit, so I had to make his lunch and some breakfast. I'm wasn't angry or nothing, but I did tell Gary a bit about preparation and making sure you manage your time well, for making breakfast and lunch. We're still early though. We tried a new bus schedule today, but it didn't work out that well; we were 15 minutes late. We did the circle share thingy again. After, we were given a scavenger hunt to search for different things. I explained to Gary what a scavenger hunt was and how it was fun and sometimes there were ways around walking to each place. ie, cheating. Not really so much. We talked to people walking by, asked business, used the phone book. We still got a good look around down town, where a few things are. Learning more and more every day. After, we started to talk about EAD's, educational activity days. Gary and I chose Community. Mainly, I chose it, because Gary was almost asleep and didn't want to move. When that was dealt with, we went to another Beanachinos to meet some organizers to discuss some things for a cause we're helping with. It's the "Make Poverty History" or "Stand Up Against Poverty" When we finally found a venue to sit at and talk, there seemed to be another problem. *Note that this is with discretion how I explain and is to the best of my detail. I believe, Jing, our Chinese project supervisor, wasn't fully explained to what this event was about. However, it seemed like to her, and to the Chinese participants that it was almost a protest, and most of them are public servants (their jobs are) they couldn't dishonor their state and the promise that they made that they wouldn't participate in any activities, such as protest. Our Canadian supervisor tried to convince them it was hardly a protest, but raising awareness of a global issue. This was all in front of the organizers and must have been very embarrasing for both parties. Our discussion was cut short and will talk about it tomorrow. I hope it doesn't have more serious repercussions though.
