The internet is slow here. I am in Luang Prabang – I will update more soon!

Almost off..

Kia Ora, Pamela here from yMedia…

I’m about to embark on a 2 week journey as a part of the Seuang River Adventure project and I’m hoping I’ll be able to update you along the way. So watch this space

I’m currently at the airport waiting for my $15 meal voucher promised to me immediately after being informed that there is going to be a ‘few hour’ delay as there are issues with ‘the engine’ and that we would need to disembark the plane.

Awesome start!  Luckily I don’t have a connecting flight to Luang Prabang until tomorrow AM…

No exciting news to share just yet – except JetStar demanded I have a PRINTED itinerary (hello???) which required a quick dash to the Hilton Business Centre.  Oh and also this guy at customs smiled at me and started rambling in German… I stared blankly for about a minute while he chatted to me.  He then goes ‘oh – no german?’  I shook my head and he ran off.  How peculiar.

OK – 1 minute left on this kiosk.. (travelling sans laptop is a very naked feeling..)

Each design is impressive, and we would like to acknowledge the enormous hard work, time and skill that has gone into their creation. We have decided to use group three’s design, with the inclusion of strong marketing elements from group one and two’s project designs for promotional purposes on the themekong.com website.

Video about Seuang River Project posted on Youtube

This video is an introduction and overview of the Seuang River project, and its progress so far. Narrated by Graham Harper, it gives a good insight on what to expect when taking part in the Seuang River Journey, the objectives of the project, and an indication of the stakeholders involved.

Media Design School gets involved

15 students of the Media Design School in Auckland, New Zealand are in the process of building a multi media website with the intention of creating an introduction to the Seuang River Project. With the guidance of  their tutor, Mason Herber, the students have been placed in three teams, and have three weeks to produce a website that  is both creative, interactive and provides information on the project for prospective student groups and sponsors. John Eyles met the students two days into their assignment and described their work so far as being “highly creative and inspiring”, and he looks forward to seeing the results in Mid-February.
