By bluepanjeet on Jul 11, 2008 in World Youth Day
3 days before the official opening of the World Youth Day in Sydney Australia that will commence on July 15 till the 20th of this month, OTWOMD has caught sight of the official photos of the preparation being made in the venues of the World Youth Day. Here you will have a glimpse for the first time the behind the scenes preparation and construction of the venues for the WYD Opening Mass, Station of the Cross, Youth Vigil with the Pope and the Final Mass of the WYD. The Australian Government has spend so much for this event that many atheist and non-catholics are protesting against the biggest youth celebration of the world. As of this writing, Pilgrims from all over the globe arrive at the Sydney airport with an average of 1000 young tourists per hour. Feel the excitement as we take a peak of the Photos of the official venues of the World Youth Day 2008—just after the jump

I heard from the news that as many as 3,000 reps from the Phils will be going. Buti nabigyan sila ng Visa. i remember the WYD in Germany when many Pinoys were denied for fear of becoming TNTs after the occasion.
Pareho kami ng napansin ni Meeya. Ganun ba sila ka-open dun, as in open talaga?

swerte ng mga insan mo don. ang saya don ngayon. I saw some initial pics na di ko pa napopost. grabe ang joy and happiness sa atmosphere. parang yung march natin sa roxas blvd going to luneta na nagsisigawan at nagkakantahan mga kabataan, ganun. naku meeya, i will never exchange my wyd experience for anything else. its like the world united for six whole days.
hahah iba tayo meeya eh. haha. di ko naman dinekwat yan. may koneksyon ako at permiso. kasi iisa naman ang purpose namin eh, ipalaganap ang WYD. kaya kung sino may source share share na lang. nagkataon lang mas masipag at mas maagap ako sa kanila mag blog hehe
haha yun nga din ang tanong ko sa mga koneksyon ko. meron naman daw kaya lang inuna yung kubeta kasi mahirap daw gawin pag may pinto, bubuksan pa isa isa. huli ata ilalagay. o pag tinamad si manong, naka expose na lang para kahit nasa cr kita pa rin nila yung stage haha

maunti pa nga yun kasi ang talagang nakahanda sa pinas ay 80,000 visa. kasi nga mahigpit sila kaya ayan 3000 lang nag apply. Tama ka, nadala siguro dun sa 2005 WYD.
Tsaka medyo mabagal ang processing nila. yun akin naapprove ang volunteer status ko eh 1 day before the deadline ng application ng visa so pano pa ako makakapag apply eh late na dumating yung approval. nalungkot nga ako kasi akala ko makaka attend ako. kumbaga di ko kasalanan na late dumating approval nila eh kailanagn yun sa visa application para ma-approve ka. sayang dapat live na nagcocover ako sa wyd ngayon. ganda pa mansin ka ng aking position sa WYd. abangan mo post ko na susunod, dun ako maglilitanya haha

to all of you asking if there was no door, well, of course these is! how can anyone use any toilet without a door?? might as well not put any wall isn’t it???
to prove that there were doors… i was there and used it.
proud to be aussie-ng pinoy
