The students spent their mornings attending English lessons at Bellevue Children's Academy.  They toured the Seattle area and spent time with their host families during the rest of the day. The children visited the Pacific Science Center's Tutankhamen exhibit, a Mariners game, and Mt. Rainier. They also were able to tour and lunch on a Holland America cruise ship and go on a Tillicum Village tour. On the final day, the children toured the Boeing factory and visited Microsoft, where they played new games and each received an Xbox as a gift from the Xbox team.
