It could be something edible, a performance, or games that others could come by and try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I got up, the closest showerhouses were closed. Luckily, they are not too far apart, so I found another pretty quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After breakfast, I headed out through the Delta and Charlie Basecamps, visiting different villages. Fun to see the variety of food and games that exist throughout the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Went by Basecamp C and met Sven again, nice guy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Got to work at around 13 and we opened the computer lab at 15 with ambassadors soon dropping by to write today&#8217;s blog post. We have quite a few posts in our backlog, so we are a bit behind, but we are working on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Close up at 17, and most of our team met up for dinner in Echo. A few of us then headed off to tonight&#8217;s show together. Got some seats a bit up in the back. More space <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t4c\/1\/16\/1f642.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude42\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first half was all about unity (theme of the day), religion, and beliefs. It&#8217;s hard to educate and inform people in such a big forum, but it was alright. When we had &#8220;reached unity&#8221; and managed to open a box, &#8220;Broadway Sings Disney&#8221; jumped on stage and made a great and appreciated show. Ended with Let it go with almost everyone singing along while all Novus badges were blinking. Quite the finish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crowded on the way back, walked with three girls from the Netherlands, one being my colleague Amy. They sang different children- and camp songs, mainly in Dutch, really fast and loud. It made the time go faster, so I shouldn&#8217;t complain, even though I couldn&#8217;t understand a word of it <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\"

Summit Bechtel Reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
