Day 1 started with a walk from the flags to Ohana Court (Ohana means family in Hawaiian) led by the local Hawaiians.

We had a lovely welcoming ceremony, which included giving our gifts to the Hawaiians. This is Christian and Sharee Fox giving the PhotogenX gifts.

Then we got a bunch of talks about the University, then broke out into our DTS groups + got to know each other a bit better.
In the evening was the Aloha party, including Island Breeze performing and the roll call of the nations at the University. Kat carried the flag for NZ.

Sarah carried the flag for the UK.

There are lots of photos of the Island Breeze performance on flickr.
