On May 2^nd, a group of five CNU international students including Muhammad Umar, Muhammad Umer Farooq, Zaigham Zaheer, Awais Mahmood and Taqdess Tahir won the first prize worth of 300,000 won at Damyang Bamboo Festival’s Amazing Race 2015. The race featured various hands on activities at the festival site, Damyang’s Bamboo Park and Culture Experience Village. There were 36 teams in total and the team completing missions in the fastest time won. Muhammad Umer, one of the team members said, “The game tasks were pretty unique and appealing.” Missions involved are various types of actions which are arrow shooting, scramble, fishing with bamboo basket, crossing the forest to get to the top, etc. They were under great pressure because at the beginning of the race, the team did not win loads of points yet. Therefore, they came up with a strategy afterwards in which everyone would be responsible for one particular task and do it altogether at the same time to win the most points. According to Muhammad Umer Farooq, they were basically “multitasking”. The team initially participated with the urge of finding new experiences and for a break from their busy university life and was thrilled to win the biggest prize.
