Okay, so for those of you who have never been to the Bintan camp, word of advice: pack in advance so you get the most of it.
Pack your bag with snacks and decide beforehand what to bring with you in astorm. Like handphone and a change of clothes.
It has it's ups and downs. I don't really like the overall planning, but the activities are pretty fun:) Maybe they should fire whoever planned stuff and get someone who is better at planning camps.
Day 1: mainly boring. The way they scold us makes it like... how should I say this nicely? Use your imagination. Poor planning. The Mount Bintan... well, going up is tiring. Luckily, my classmates are there to help. But I kept feeling like vomitting.>< Down is more fun. Partly because I wasn't carrying anything, and mostly because the sense of danger gives my body an adrenaline rush that makes it act weirdly. But it's fun. Rush to the bottom!^^
After the mt. Bintan the whole day is just down the drain. The bus is way too compact and we sweat like pigs.
Day 2: This day is much better. The mangrove planting is quite fun, despite what I expected. Although the wound I got from climbing down mt. Bintan got worse. and in the (village? idk), the animals were really frienly.And the team building was really funny!^^ Definitely a highlight of the whole thing. The ionstructor's simon says is impossible to understand the first time, though.LOL.
Day 3: What do I say? The water captain's ball (play captain's ball in the sea) was a novel experience. The seawater is so salty, but fun. And when we sang the titanic song (because the instructor asked for a song that had to do with water) I think it was really funny. Hmm... well, okay, morning wasn't too bad. The sampan was really fun:) I think that's because of the people on the sampan^^ I really wish I jumped off it, but joey and feng did. ^^' Ah well. We had a good time playing. And the dragon boat viking game and dragon boating itself wasn't bad:) But it rained later and we were stuck on the rain and the principal just went on>< And then we slept in the air conditioned room-_-"
Day 4: Rush home and be very very rushed. That pretty much summarises it.
In conclusion: Avoid the first day.
Did I mention that the sky was spectacular at night? Some of us got to see a shooting star! I think my wish was really selfish, so I guess it should be withdrawn.
And the fireworks! Thery were pretty amazing!
Further summary: Absolutely gorgeous at night:)
It's worth a visit, and worth a chance, as long as you're strong enough to climb mount Bintan.

treasure them
