Uniforms


Previously this week we all received our long awaited uniforms. Placed in a large Adidas bag, we received one pair of sneakers, two pairs of adjustable pants (they zip off to become shorts), three polo-shirts, one fanny-pack, one water bottle, three pairs of socks and a baseball cap for the guys (fisherman's hat for the girls).

A game that was played after receiving our uniforms became; How much did this all cost? Using standard retail prices for all the items, one calculation that was derived was around 300 dollars. Not bad considering we got this all for "free". The uniforms aren't the sexiest things I've worn in a while, but they are presentable and now all of us feel like a part of the great blue army that is the Beijing Volunteer Corps.
