Hi everyone! My name is Liz and I'm a senior English major on the Lawrenceville campus. I'm so excited to be going to Hong Kong. I'm determined to set foot on every continent in my lifetime and this trip puts me one step closer to completing my goal. I have traveled to other countries before, France and Italy, but never some place that has a such a different culture from ours. The one thing I regret about my college years is not traveling as much as I could have over the nice long winter breaks and long summers, so when the opportunity for this trip came up I was really excited. Aside from it being warmer than here, I am most looking forward to seeing the Big Buddha as well as Victoria Peak. I have seen these places both on tv and in pictures and I'm happy I finally get to see them in person. I also hope to visit the 10,000 Buddha Monastery in Sha Tin on our free day. If anyone is insterested let me know. I'm really looking forward to experiencing all the different aspects of the Chinese culture and to see how it is mixed with its British roots. I also cannot wait to put my new digital camera to use! I'm going to need a large memory card! See you all soon!
