Day 1: What Went Down

Day 1 was essentially the first chance we met with the rest of the delegates. We had dinner, followed by a quick briefing and ice-breaker.

This night, we were able to get to know some delegates from some countries, mainly due to the QR Code Game. I was paired with a delegate from Japan and found that he was an achiever in multiple fields – a multi-hypenate.

The other delegates were funny, some were shy, others confident and approachable. If there was something common with everyone, it was the look of excitement at the prospect of learning. Seems everyone can’t wait for Day 2!

In the Philippines, QR codes are present, but not as widely-used as we found in Malaysia, in department stores, restaurants, and other retail outlets.
