It is being huge fun looking at all the things you got up to.

But there is still some serious adventuring ahead

Assignment 2 – voting

Well all the iMovie trailers are in (have a look at the comment section of the last post) and now is some time to have a bit of fun.

There is an opportunity to vote in the vUWS site for your favourite iMovie trailer. Pick your favourite and which ever one gains the most votes will win a fantastic prize package ( well it’s not that fantastic really 😇 ).

But the big thrill is your is chance to send Tim and Me off on your microadventure.

So get out and vote.

Remember vote early and vote often.

So put on your frock, glam up and head down the read carpet for the World Premiere of the Micoadventure Trailers.

Check out the trailers – they are posted as comments to this post.

Vietnam study tour subsidy

2014 Vietnam study tour - Same same, but different

In 2013 I successful applied for Federal Government funding as part of a program called AsiaBound  to provide university students with a subsidy to assist with the cost of international study tours. As a result there a limited number of $2,000 subsidies available for students who participate in the 2014 Vietnam study tour.

To receive the subsidy there will be an application process which you will need to undertake and for successful applicants the cost of the trip will reduce by the amount of the subsidy.

Time to party – The Experience

Tim found this advert for an event organisation – look at what they are trying to sell.

Fresh Ideas
Creative and engaging ideas for your meetings and events

“The Secret Cocktail party”
Emotions:
“Poetic. Underground. Old with a modern edge”
Destination: London
The Experience:

An industrial space, whose previous incarnations include a railway coal store, a music hall and an eighteenth century theatre…The perfect atmosphere to celebrate a “clandestine” cocktail party. This unique venue transformed into an authentic “Gin Palace”. Guests will be provided with a secret password to access to the event and a “tasting” passport. The challenge? Stop at the different themed cocktails stations, taste fine and unique gin cocktails inspired by exotic flavours from the world and collect as many stamps as you can. Old fashioned smoking lounges will be also set up in the space, giving it an old world feel with a modern edge.

The spirit of a microadventure

This photo speaks volumes about what I hoped people would take away from the micro adventure.

Well I am off to jump in puddles 😊

iMovie challenge

Well I hoped that a competitive spirit would drive the iMovie challenge – at the most basic level – just doing something better than those in your cohort – or the prospect of sending two old dinosaurs off on something challenging.

Well it seems like the challenge fell on deaf ears.

So let me up the stakes. I will throw in a heap of bonus marks for the group that has the selected best iMovie trailer. Yes the best iMovie trailer – the one that is selected for Tim and I to go off on a exciting challenging fun microadventure will get a big handful of bonus marks.

So there you are – want a good grade – up your GPA – here is your chance to have fun and make Mum happy.
