Here we are,

The third day was full of actions.

it was the opening day of the World Finals.

the schedule is full, we managed to participate on all events (coach & Dr.Salwa asked us not to.. )

.. as usual the day started by waking up at 7:00 am to have our breakfast ... then we had to go quickly to our rooms to wear the heavy clothes to start the activities

at 8:00 am the buses started to move to HEU (Harbin Engineering University)

at 8:30 am the opening ceremony had started, first they introduced all the teams, they sorted all the teams then introduced them on the stage-after the introducing every team moved to the seats (they gave us a map to the hall which show where is our seats)

then the ceremony started, i liked the 12 girls bands too much, it was a great experience to see Chinese art (live)

the ceremony lasts two hours after that we have to move to the library team area so we know our place in the contest and get our t-shirts and hear some rules :D

while i was in my way to the team area, i was walking with the coach's mother because her shoes was not prepared to walk on ice .. But unfortunately she fall and take my hand with her, so my hand got hurt (2 times)

we moved to the contest area .. and took our t-shirts then went to the dining hall to have our lunch - one of the strangest launches i had ever had .. (let the pictures describe it instead of me)

it's now 1:30 pm and we have to go to ICPC snow Park so we start the activity of the ICPC snow sculpture

ICPC snow sculpture : it's a competition which the teams compete to make the best letter in the sentence " ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest Harbin Engineering University "

they assign each letter to 2 teams, so we had to work with North Texas university to make the letter 'L'

we managed to make it like L of titres game and worked for around 3 hours in it :D, i think we made a good one (judge it from the pictures)

- I worked to hard and forced my hand to work, so after this activity my hand was hurting me too much

We had to go back to the hotel have our dinner then go to the ICE SCULPTURE ( i have seen many pictures about it so i really wanted to see it)

BUT :S:S

my hand was hurting me too much .. i started to ask about first aid in the hotel but they were helpless .. they told me to go to the hospital to do X-Ray to now either it's fine or not

i told them it's not broken , i know But they said that i must go to the hospital and told me to take a taxi to the hospital ... Amr & Sadek let the buses too and offered to go with me to the hospital - i was so sad that i'm not going to attend the ice sculpture

Thanks to Allah we found a student (i can't pronounce his name so i'll call him M) who worked as a reporter for the university he was soo helpful and he went with us to the hospital and deal with the doctors and helped us too much

I had the X-ray and the doctor told me that my hand is not broken - i just has to put a medicine and relax it for 2 weeks ( he is kidding the contest is after tomorrow , that's what i told my self)

then M take the name of the medicine and bought it to us and bought also a bandage and we took a taxi to the hotel again..

It was 9:30 pm, the buses left the hotel at 8:30 and they will be back at 10:00 pm

M offered us to take a taxi to the ice sculpture and he will go with us and guide us there so we can see as much as we can.

So we take a taxi and went, it was around 9:50 and we are there he told us that we have 30 mins to play :D and we enjoyed this 30 minutes as much as we could, we thanked him lot then take the buses to hotel again.

We were very tired so once we reached our rooms we fall asleep.
