Manson Pow @ CityU, Hong Kong ( From University:University of British Columbia, Canada)

Oct 5, 2009
Hello all, thank you for taking the time to read my diary. I shall begin with a brief introduction. I was born and raised in Vancouver Canada which is a highly multi-cultural city. Although I cannot read or write Chinese I am able to speak it thanks to my Chinese lineage. In that respect, I have an advantage over other exchange students when communicating with the local Hong Kong people.

Today I attended my Mandarin course with other exchange students, our instructor is a very nice lady from Beijing. Her presence has made the course very enjoyable so far. Later on, I worked out at the sport complex of Cityu for the rate of $3/hour which is very affordable in my opinion. The facilities are very nice and not crowded at all during non-peak hours. Afterwards, I ate at the CityU canteen and made sure I had lots of protein for proper muscle development. Thanks for reading my diary!

Today I went to Mandarin class again. Afterwards, I went to Tung Choi street in Mong Kok looking for souvenirs to buy for my friends at home. I was able to find some funny t-shirts to bring back to Vancouver.

Every Wednesdays and Fridays I go to Judo Class at the CityU Sports Facilities Centre. Learning Judo has been very fun so far as I am lucky to have many white belt friends to attend with. I am interested in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and am also a fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championships on T.V. Learning Judo has allowed me to understand what a tough sport MMA is.

Thursday was a very uninteresting day for me. Today I crammed all the course materials for 6 hours to get ready for the midterms in the near future. Auditing is especially difficult as it requires the students' judgement in many cases.

Today I worked out again at the Sports Facilities Centre at CityU. I can feel my biceps growing thanks to all the protein I ate on Monday! I can feel the pace increasing at school, I must get ready for my midterms and group projects now. Thanks again for reading my journal. CityU and Hong Kong has been a great place to learn business so far.
