The last week of ALP marks a hectic week of finishing up last bits of prototypes for many groups, scrambling to order the last few pieces of Taobao goodness hoping that they will be shipped to us on time, and rushing around eating every single last bit of food that we know we can’t find in Singapore (and especially at such a cheap price). It really made most of us reflect on what we will (and already) miss about Hangzhou and China as a whole, and throughout this ALP journey, we really realised that there is so much more to the world than we thought.
Some snippets of the last week of ALP:

This trip is the longest away from home that we have been to (for most of us), and it taught us a lot of valuable insights and lessons, be it technical such as programming, or survival life skills such as communication and independence. We are truly thankful for this wonderful and inspiring opportunity.
