First Day in Vladivostok-November 17th

Russians say 'warm', Laotians say ' freezing'!

       After more than 12 hours of travelling ( Vientiane-Hanoi, Hanoi-Seoul, Seoul- Vladivostok), we finally made it to our destination, here in Vladivostok " The land of Amur Tiger". From Seoul to Vladivostok, other delegates from Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia were flying with us too. At the first second I walked out from the airplane, I was welcome  by the refreshing cold air of Vladivostok. 
     I am very impressed how hospitable and helpful the forum organizers are including the receptionist at the hotel. Even though she doesn't speak English but she could kind of guess what I wanted her to help with by using body language and it worked out really well.  At dinner, we were welcome by Russian meal which was typical and yummy. So, the first day is gone but 9 remaining days to put all energy and effort for the Youth Tiger Conservation Forum.:)
