Back from Hobart Site Visit

It was a very tiring trip down to Hobart for our semester 2 site visit. But it is very interesting and interactive in the way Helen had organized us for our group discussion. I learnt a lot of issues from different perspective. Then, we came out with different proposition and possibility from our analysis to our site. I am lucky that this semester I have a good team to work with.

Yesterday, the last day, my usual friends and I decided to walk through the underground drainage to the other end. There was a portion where a dam was created across forcing us to walk along a narrow curb at the side. There is a pipe protruding out of the wall at my forehead height. The first cross, I managed to duck to avoid it. But during the return trip, I was walking so fast and didn’t duck low enough, my head hit it hard. It was so painful! Till now, I can still feel the pain when I bend down or pull my facial skin backwards.

There are lots of thing happened during the trip. We got a $50 summon over unauthorized parking in a permit holder lot carpark. 2nd, our lodge, the Couch House, got a blackout while we are preparing dinner. We got a refund for one night and free stay in 2 other smaller units for that night, but minutes after we moved, the electricity came back.

It was lucky that we did not lose anything. The refund get us each back at least $6.40 back in our pockets.
