A Volunteer Experience I was participated in "The Hong Kong Flower Show 2013" three years ago. It organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department at Victoria Park. It was held between 15 to 24 March in 2013. The show attracted over 530000 visitors. The theme of flower was "Dendrobium" and the theme of the whole Flower Show was "Kaleidoscope of Spring". In the Flower Show, there were over 200 organisations from 18 countries showcased exotic flowers, landscape and floral art displays. The participating countries were Mainland China, Australia, Estonia, France, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Spain, Belgium, the United Kingdom and the United States. A series of fringe activities were held during the show period, including music and dance performances, green talks, floral art demonstrations, fashion shows, cooking demonstrations and fun games. In this Flower Show, my duty was tourist guide. I had gone to Victoria Park to have briefing two days before the show started. I recieved some datas and the catalog of the show from the organiser, and I was requested to read and re-read until I was familiar with all contents. It is because my duty was required to introduce all the display art pieces to the audiences one by one. In this event, I needed to wear formal dressing and had a professional outlook. It was a fun and amazing experience that I can only prepared for no more than two days and being a professional of flowers after that. I needed to work on shift as five to six hours a day which I had to brought at least three to four groups of audience to walk around all art pieces and introduced detailed. There was a very momorable experience which I really want to share with you. I had told my family that I needed to work on sunday which I could not go out with them. On sunday, after I bring one group travel around all display, I saw my family come and being my second group of audience. I brought them walking around the display and have a very happy time with them. The best thing was that they waited me to finish work and brought me to eat buffet dinner after that. This is the best and the happiest memory in the working period in flower show. -END-
