hi! i went to the npc open house on sunday. i walked around to find seladang's campsite. it was in subcamp 5; all the way at the end and the path leading to it was covered in mud. trust me you can literally sink into the mud.
i was very surprised at my campsite when i finally found it. it was way below my expectations. it had a little kitchen, a bench and a tent. not a bad place to live in but it was nothing compared to many others that i have seen.
catholic high's was very good, and so was ri 02's, dunman high's and victoria's. i was very impressed at their standards although it was not altogether unexpected.
cat high's gateway was very tall. their gadgets were great. i have no idea how but they somehow managed to bend bamboo into a u shape. this allowed them to integrate their bench and table in a very cool way. i can assume that they used their abundant amount of money to purchase such good wood. everything was standardised, even their slippers.
ri 02's had everything literally under one roof. unlike our's and cat high's, they did not have a separate tentage for sleeping. they had a second level for other purposes. i find this a good idea as it saves space although it will be hard to construct. i liked their sink. they had a bucket of water on thte floor connected to the basin via a hand pump. you merely need to squeeze the pump to get water.
the structures were great. there were many playgrounds, slides and swings. ours was a structure where you climb a ladder and you slide down a fireman's pole. you could also climb up the pole to get to the platform on the top.
zhenghua being as rich as zhenghua gave away free helium balloons. vs had a swing and a platform that you climbed up to by a ladder integrated into one. cat high had a boat themed playground. ahs also had a playground. chung cheng had a dunking machine.
the next time i go for npc in 2010, im gunning for at least a gold, if not, the shield. difficult, yes, but not impossible.
this year seladang was an inch away from a silver. =(
