On the flip side of being on a uni exchange

---

Soo the flip side to being on an university exchange is that eventually all the work that has not been completed as your too occupied with doing other things catches up on you. This means being stuck in a chair, at a desk/ or computer trying to figure out just how much you've missed out on (you know that you have missed, but that much, really?!?). In my particular case also being stuck in a lab completeing a group project and presentation where not all members have pulled their weight. (End of rant)

On a lighter note, I have added some photos of the various places that I have visited. As I am short of time I have not written about the photos, but only placed a very short caption. None of the photos are connected to each other i.e. most were from separate events.

BBQ
Once evening I was fortunate to attend a BBQ! you alight coals and place ur meat and veggies and cook away ! This was taken after we had cleaned up.

Cycling to Tai Po
A group of uni people hired bikes (one even learned in 10 mins how to ride one) and trode along a fairly congested bike lane towards Tai Po in the New Territories. The weather was beautiful and all the events of a bike trip happened (crashes, near crashes, flat tyres, loss of people, taking a different path etc) but there were smiles on everyone's faces!

As I always seem to be on a lamp post.

Always something happening at LKF. I didn't even know that something was happening as we were only passing through but had a quick look.

The private stalls of the racecourse (this was taken in the public section).

Halloween is hugh in HK. EVERYONE was dressed up and alot of effort was thought and done for costumes. Whole families were out being part of the street parade.

Towards Cyberport
Cyberport is on the western side of HK Island over looking the West Lamma Channel and is where all the container ships come through. All street signs are in English and Cantonese.

Cyberport
Stil not sure what its meant to be, but there are some office block and a mall (which is obviously been built with someone who has too much money on their hand, empolyed a cool architect for nice form but has not function as a number of shops are empty)

a view from uni
I am part of the HKU Student Union Choir and one day we had a photo shoot day at various locations on campus. This was taken while the group was moving from the Sat Yut Sun steps down toward the couryard of the same name. The main library is on the left, and on the right is the Knowles builidng (social sciences). Looking straight ahead are the residential apartment blocks, and in certain places you can see Victoria Habour (but only a small section.)

On a ferry towards Lamma Island look back towards Kowloon.

Pok Fu Lam
The western side of HK Island. I think the peak is on the lhs. I am really fortunate to live in this area.

What you see once you get off the ferry from HK.
