Kuching legion fellowship day 1 古晋交流会第一天

The plane touched down on schedule at the Kuching International Airport at 1:30 pm. It was raining.

We were welcomed by members of the organising committee and bused to Grand Margherita Hotel (formerly Holiday Inn Kuching) by the riverside in downtown Kuching.

I was hungry and could not wait to have a big bowl of Kuching Kolo Mee at a nearby coffee shop.

The opening Mass was at 5:00pm at a hall in a commercial complex. The Mass was celebrated by Archbishop John Ha, con-celebrated by Archbishop Emiratus Peter Chung and three priests from Taiwan.

694 legionaries from 24 areas across East and West Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Taiwan attending this event.

Later in the evening, a dinner was hosted at the same venue to welcome the participants.

飞机准时的在下午一点三十分降落在古晋国际机场，当时是下着雨。

我们受到主办当局成员的欢迎，马上乘搭巴士去进住饭店。

我的肚子是非常大饿了，所以马上联同几位早些抵达的朋友，一同到附近一家咖啡店享用美味的乾捞麵。

开幕弥撒于傍晚五时在一间商场的大厅举行。弥撒是有古晋夏长福总主教主教，台湾程神父，朴神父及一位也是来自台湾的非洲籍司徒添神父共祭。

总共有来自24地区的694位军友出席了这些盛会。

弥撒过后，在同一个场地，举行了迎宾晚宴。
