Planning, planning… and also plenty of preparations


We met our third meeting in Tallinn on February 2nd in Korean restaurant Ariran. Our aim was pretty much to take care all the open issues related our GSE travel to Korea. 


We also got information related to some changes. We unfortunately had to change team members because of some injuries and family reasons. Welcome to our team Carita. I think this will now balance more situation with Estonians and Finnish in the team.

Blogging

We agreed tha everyone can easily blog about those things that they feel important to share. There is also need for certain basic information related to our trip on some "official" days – we can also decide shifts related to different days who’s on charge about the blogging.
Everyone has to write a report after the trip so bear in mind that this woud be great text for the final report.

Uniform for the GSE Team

We decided basically how to proceed with the team uniform. Dress for ladies (blue) and Navy Blue jacket/suite for guys. Yes and if you wonder what is this, so the reason for this is to make our team members look more one team. I will post a photo related this later.

Presentation and video material review

We still need to search more material for our presentation about Finland and Estonia. I will look after the videos from Finnish tourist board. We need to find more pictures for the presentation and we also need basic recent facts about the Finland.

Language training status

Calce remind that all the members need to post language expenses to him as soon as possible in order to get payment about them from Rotary district.
Calce and Rope are having language course for Korean language. Unfortunately we need o drop off from the course while we are in South Korea but we can again continue during the autumn. There are also plenty of Korean apps available for self-study.

Business cards

These would be handy and we will order them from Tallinn. All together estimation prize for 6 members (200 pieces) printed on both sizes is about 90 euros. Kristjan will start design cards next week. Information needed for cards:
        Information about the trip
        Your vocational background
        Home address and email, phone number
Calce will send everyone email about the information needed for the cards later one. Will upload picture of the card here when I will receive it.

Standards

These we might also need from our local clubs. Need to confirm to chairman of the club. If this is not possible or wise we will produce one design for the team and give that in formal occasions.

Insurance and documents

For Estonians insurance need to be pre-ordered for certain period (for example one month) but Finnish has continues insurance. Other paper work is from my side pretty much done. Papers, forms and other form of documentation that we needed to return included:
        open application
        biography,
        CV,
        endorsement from the local Rotary club,
        doctor's declaration,
        insurance notice and
        wishlist for the visit.
Plenty of paper work in order get to the road.

Probably the passport is enough and couple of credit cards to survive...
