Day #1, 5/5/04
Didn't know what happened, yours truly was still wrapping up and
preparing for the trip.
Day #2, 5/6/04
Today is my first day at the field, early bird teams include
China, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand.
Singapore and Malaysia will come in later on this evening. Todd
and Jason were at the field early conducting their 3D workshop and
lessons for the locals and whoever that are interested. Wind was
quite high all through the sunny day, not high enough to cause any
damage. The competitors took turns practicing and the
competition atmosphere are quite intimidating.
