The day started off by the introduction of Tourism in Kansas City and to add to the overall experience, we had this session in an office overlooking a beautiful part of the city, from which various tourist attractions were pointed out to us. We learnt alot from this introduction and were also given an opportunity to talk about our own countires and the beauty thereof, which attracts tourists from all over the world.
For lunch, we had great food and the best of company. After lunch, we went to the City Hall, at which we attended a City Council Legislative Session to receive a Proclamation, presented by the mayor of Kansas City. Once again we were braced with a wonderful warm welcome from the people of Kansas City. Therefater, we went to the City Observation Deck, which is also situated in the City hall, where we got to view Kansas City and surrounding areas from a 'bird's-eye' view; it was amazing.
We later obtained greater insight into the news paper of Kansas City, The Star, upon a guided tour of the newly erected building of the newspaper. We were presented with the history of the news paper, the production process and many more.
WOW!, being the only word with which to describe the following; "The Sprint Centre". It is an oval shaped arena, which hosts major concerts for some of the world's best artists and other world class events. We were all stunned at the beauty of this centre.
Off with our hosts families to further establish Kansas City as our new home.
