Int_Pee_Men_Pro_Tra_P8202_01_025

As you know you spend half of daily life in your dorm so you need to make it as comfortable as possible.  For me, I’m planting a small plant in a pot to make my room slightly more homelike. I brought the seeds from my home and I think it’s called jasmine but I’m not sure as it’s just started to sprouting.  Actually last year I got a mint plant and it grew pretty fast.  Unfortunately, it dried out after I went back to my hometown during the winter vacation.  So anyone want to take care of my plant when I’m away?

Hon_Kn_Day_Tou_Stu_P8205_05_03629/8 was a remarkable day for all international peer mentors and mentees. It was not only the day for the newcomers to sightsee around the south of Hong Kong Island but also to experience the heat of the city! The temperature was like 34 degrees and we had our City Exploration outdoor… Though we sweated like mad on that day, we had a really good time and experience.

Our trip started early in the morning. There were too many of us so we have to split into two coaches. The first stop was the Repulse Bay Beach which is famous in the size and cleanliness of the area. However we were kind of too hot to appreciate the beauty of it, but hid in the 7-11 store for the air-conditioning.

 The rest of the trip was a lot better(cooler). We stopped by at the Stanley Bay for a bit of shopping at the marketplace and took a look at the Murray House. Most of us were dehydrated by the heat so we went to the McDonald’s and spent the rest of the time there.

After that we went to the Jumbo Seafood Restaurant for dinner. People were amused by the outlook and the interior design of it. We had some traditional Chinese cuisine. Maybe it was too early for dinner (6pm!) or the international students were not used to Chinese food, we didn’t really eat much. But it was a great time for us to chat with others and know more about each other’s background and culture.

Our last stop was the peak. The timing was good so we had the chance to watch the “A Symphony of Lights” show at the Victoria Harbor. All of us were attracted by the spectacular view. At last we headed back to the campus at around 9.

 The semester started and everyone is busy right now. But there are a lot more fun and interesting activities organized by the peer mentors in the future. Stay with us!
