It has been awhile since my last blog update. Nothing extremely big has happened since then. Not yesterday, but the Friday before, it was my friends birthday. If you have any Korean friends, you should eat their birthday dinner with them. It is a custom in Korea that if it is your birthday you treat everyone for dinner.
This past week we got a lot of rain, but it has cleared up for the weekend. Last night, I went to see Inception. In Hong Kong, instead of buying a movie ticket and sitting where ever you'd like, the ticket you purchase has a designated seat on it and you have to sit there. It was really cool watching the movie and being able to look down and read some of the subtitles in traditional characters from time to time.
Today, we met our Chinese counterpart of IBCE. They only found out on Thursday that they would be in the program. All of the kids I met seem really nice. We went out to dinner with a few of them tonight, and it was a lot of fun. During the lunch, it finally felt like the program was completed. Everyone at both colleges is incredibly excited for it, and I felt honored for the opportunity to be in the program. The next coming years are going to be fun for sure.

Hi, Clarke.
ReplyDeleteWill you explain a little more about the program for neophytes like me?
Do you mean the Chinese students will go to America, or does it mean they will study with you in China.
It does sound very exciting. How terrific that you are aware what a wonderful opportunity this is.
They will study with us in Hong Kong this year. Then next year, they will return with us to USC and study a year there. Then the following year, we will all go back and finish up at CUHK. Hong Kong is only on a 3 year college system so they are technically already sophomores.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous program. It's mind-boggling what you will learn from each other - and make life-long friends in the process.
ReplyDeleteEven though I was sorry you didn't come to NY, I must admit this is a better experience than I could ever have imagined.
