Tropical weather, great
food, and an amazing cultural experience...These are just some of
the many reasons I traveled about 8,000 miles from the relatively
rural Western Massachusetts to the fast paced international city of
Hong Kong. I arrived in late August to study at the Chinese University
of Hong Kong, where I am took Cantonese and basic business courses
as well as being a teaching assistant for an English journalism editing
class.
As if academics and work wasn't enough (but truthfully they never
are for me), I am also studing Northern Shaolin kung fu with the
United College Martial Arts Society, fencing with the Union Fencing
Club, and learning how to do the traditional lion dance in Fortress
Hill.
I'm attempting to explore Hong Kong little by little and travel
to other parts of Asia. I took five-day tours of Beijing, Thailand, and Japan and hopefully will take a couple more trips before returning to the States.
I have hundreds of pictures that I still need to upload, and I'm going to try to add pictures and update the site whenever I
can steal a bit of free time. However, because I'm basically teaching
myself HTML using the good ole trial and error method coupled with
the new found realization that working on a website can be rather
addicting (yes I'm a dork) and can eat up lots of time...this might
be a slow process. So feel free to check back at your leisure to
see what I've been up to.
