Day 3 - 1/11/14

Never know what to expect. Found delicious Dim Sum in the village!

Octopus Card

When people told me how important an Octopus Card was in Hong Kong, I didn't really believe it. But, after just being in Hong Kong for 6 days, I've realized the importance. First of all, it gets you on any public transportation (MTR, bus, etc), A lot of shops and stores and even restaurants accept the Octopus Card. The campus uses Octopus Card for printing, vending machines, and to get food. This system is pretty cool and it is really awesome to see how its wide use makes it easier as you have one card that can do multiple things. It would be so awesome if they have this in America, but it would take too much change and time. In the time being, I will Octopus Card ahead in HK!

Symphony of Lights

The world's biggest permanent light and laser show was really pretty. The music was a little under-welming, but it was really cool to see all the big skyscrapers covered with lights that lit up the sky.

Victoria Peak

Victoria Peak (Chinese: 太平山) is a mountain in the western half of Hong Kong Island. It is the highest mountain on the island and provides an opportunity to look down and see the skyline towards Kowloon. We were able to hike up the paths behind University Hall and come down on the Tram. What's cool is that you can really see a panoramic view of the island.
