The Reunion on Board in Ho Chi Minh City was held on Monday 3rd December during the country program in Viet Nam.
Registration for Reunion on BoardOn the same day, the Representatives for the On Board Ship Conference boarded the Nippon Maru to coordinate the Post Program Sessions for the PYs and also to prepare the SSEAYP News.
OBSC members with our new pink (yes, pink!) MOPAS bagsThis was the first reunion dinner I attended in Viet Nam and it was slightly different than the others. It was attended by a lot of volunteers who had contributed to the running of the country program in Viet Nam with relatively few ex-PYs. I was told that most of the ex-PYs live in Ha Noi and it was difficult for them to go to Ho Chi Minh City for the reunion.

As expected, the send off ceremony in Viet Nam is always very emotional. The ship left Saigon port on 4th December to set sail for Tokyo, Japan on 4th December 2007.
OBSC didn't have a name card...
