Dear friends,
I went to go hiking in Shek O Country Park today on the three-hour Dragon's Back Path. It was a medium hike and I  saw breathtaking landscapes of Hong Kong.

Dear friends,
Beijing was a lot of fun and I was very happy to have seen so many different sites. It's been a while since I've updated because everyday has been so busy, but I am slowly updating from Hong Kong.

On the first full day in Hong Kong, several Fulbrighters and I went to each lunch on a boat and then drive a speedboat. It was exhilarating and I couldn't have asked for a better day. The sky was clear, temperature was warm (big change from Beijing), and I actually handled the steering wheel well!

Driving the speedboat with my hair extremely messy from the wind.

The day after speedboating, a few of us went to Lantau Island to see the big Buddha. We waited in line for about 2 hours until we finally got on the cable car that takes you to see the big Buddha.
