Tai O Trip

Prior to my leaving for the Philippines, Lingnan University organized a fantastic excursion to Tai O, a remote fishing village in Hong Kong. After arriving by bus, we immediately split off into two different groups. My group got to partake in a “beginners” Tai Kwon Do class; however, my quadriceps would disagree that it was […]

I still cannot fathom that it has been five weeks already?! Where has the time gone? Furthermore, I’m starting the sixth week and nearing midterms.
