39th International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) Part 5

19 July 2007
Today, we have a trip to Sergiev Posad or Sergiev's Monastery. There, we get to see the interior and exterior of the Russian Orthodox Church. Somewhere nearby, we had our Matroshka dolls painting session. Well, after that, I bought a set of 10 Matroshkas as my own "masterpiece" turned out beautifully.

We had our theoretical exams. This also signifies the end of the seperation between us participants and our mentors. Indeed we had our reunion party on a boat with our mentors.

We went to Kremlin today. It is so beautiful. After lunch, it is time to go to the zoo!

We had paintball. Late night, we had disco too.

Closing ceremony is in today's schedule. This means that we will know how badly we did. Of course, at least we manage to maintain the result of 3 bronzes. We also had our farewell banquet in the Russian Academy of Sciences. This building is powered by solar energy.

Our flight was early today. So, we woke up early to pack up and bid farewell to Sasha, our guide. Soon, we left Olimpiets and hours later, we are back in Malaysia.

I know that readers will find that this psot is so brief. Why? This is because I need to prepare for the 40th IChO. So, there will be no post until I backdate the posts when I'm back. Hope to resume blogging soon.
