IAG Crew 2014

It was nice evening when i received an email from the Incheon Asian games 2014 committee that i have been selected for the English blogging of IAG crew. It was indeed a matter of immense pleasure for me as representing my country in such  a big event is itself a great opportunity and I have to promote the IAG 2014 through my blogs and writings. I was really happy for that.

On October 11, 2013 we had the orientation ceremony and thus the first International crews for the Incheon Asian Games 2014 were officially appointed. I was excited to meet new friends and to work with them. It has been a long since i met new friends, so i couldn't wait for it . It was 50 minutes subway travel from my place to Incheon but i miss the subway and thus  i was late for 30 minutes.The IAG committee main office is located in one of the tallest building of Incheon near Technopark subway station.

We have a brief introduction with the officials by the in charge of our program Miss Seieun OH. She is a very nice and cooperative person with a calm and attractive personality. She presented some slides about the  Incheon Asian games and all the way its progress. All those slides were really informative and at the same time surprising that how the Incheon metropolitan government and Korea republic are involved in the preparation of IAG 2014.

We were presented with souvenirs and appointments shields by the head of PR department of IAGOC, Mr. Kim Jaein. In the coffee break I met my colleagues Kohinoor from India, Paola from Philippine, Daniel from Canada, Franky from Indonesia.All they were really interesting and enthusiastic to participate in this program. Just after the break we had an other presentation by Mr. Shin. He guide us on how to write blogs and promote the IAG 2014. Also he explain about the selection of contents and suitability of topics for blogs. Over all It was an interactive session.

We had a lavish buffet at 21st floor of the "Meet you all Tower". The look of Incheon from the top of the tower was really amazing. The clear weather and nice sun shine reflects the beauty of Incheon city. All the attractions of Incheon city were visible from sky portion of the building. The smooth and long roads show a great view from such  a height.

We had a productive group discussion after lunch in which we highlighted the role of the crews in promotion of the IAG 2014. Every participant express his/her opinion in this regards. We finalized our topics for the October and our group topic. We also have a detailed discussion, questions and answers session about the interests of the Incheon Asian Games committee and their expectations from the crews.
At the end of the day, we come up with a better understandings for our role and responsibilities. The meeting finished at 2:30 PM after 4 hours of the process and discussion. The next venue and time was also decided mutually.

Over all it was an amazing experience. I hope this opportunity will bring more pleasant experiences, chances to communicate with internationals  and occasions to express our personalities in a more proper way. I wish to be a part of further batches of the crews as well.
To be very honest I consider my self to be a lucky one for having such a great opportunity to represent myself and my country in the Incheon Asians games through my writings.
