Anyone for a Singapore Sling?

Well ladies and gentlemen. We are safely in the Capital of South Korea, Seoul, at the moment, after a wonderful and successful few days in Singapore. We have been in South Korea for 2 days now and it has been fantastic. We had a sponsors concert with the World Vision Korea Children's Choir this evening, where member of the Samsung top management and CEO's attended. The Korea Children's Choir were seeking sponsorship but it was also a great opportunity for the NZYC to also demonstrate to the select audience what we are about and what we do. Yesterday about a third of the choir headed to the North/South Korea border on a tour I organised to the Demilitarized zone, DMZ. It was a fascinating experience and we even got to very briefly step into North Korea. I will post these photos in the next few days.

Our short visit to Singapore was also a very successful one, whereby we performed to a wonderful crowd of local choral supporters at the National University of Singapore's music conservatory. We performed alongside the Singapore Youth Choir Ensemble Singers and even presented a joint piece half way through. We also visited a Government High School and performed a short concert which was greatly received and we were even greeted by a Whiata and a Haka by the school pupils.

Shortly after we arrived we also visited the Singapore Night Safari. What a wonderful place.

If you are wondering, a Singapore Sling is a fantastic cocktail from none other than Singapore. Its world famous........ apparently. In fact I just had one tonight, here in Seoul. Singapore airlines also has it on their menu, so they make the flights go a bit faster.

Tomorrow we are performing to the staff of the New Zealand Embassy here in Seoul.

Thanks for reading and keep an eye out for the Korea photos in the next few days. Next stop is SHANGHAI, CHINA on Monday.
