1/7/18 – A Strenuous Stroll
On our first totally free day, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do. After finally overcoming my jetlag and waking up at 11:30, I saw that Keileh and Haley were going on a walk, so I decided to … Continue reading

1/6/18 – Transfixing Tours
Today was a whirlwind, but satisfying – we toured two radically different Hong Kong institutions: the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, which occupies a glittering skyscraper (the second tallest in the city) in the middle of the glitzy Central district, and … Continue reading
