Trip to Hong Kong Adventist College, Hong Kong, 11-23 March 2007

I am currently attending an "Integration of Faith & Learning Conference" - hosted and funded by a division of General Conference SDA Church's Education Department.

The purpose of the conference is to get every participant to write a 15-20 pages paper/essay towards the development of and contributing towards An Adventist Teachers Resources' 35th Volume. This volume will be published very soon. Hong Kong is a different place - high scrapers residential buildings, very much congested and densely populated. I have cautioned that Hong Kong is the most populated densely city in the world.

I need to mention that the weather has been so gloomy, foggy, and at some point drizzling a little, but not cold. It was interesting for me to learn that university and college students wear a school uniform. I still need to check if it is true that all universities in Hong Kong require uniform for their students.

We will be going out on an excursion on Sunday (18 March 2007), and I am looking forward to the trip. It appears that we will be using a cruise. I saw what is considered the longest bridge connecting Hong Kong with other surburbs. Hong Kong is an island, and it is connected by a bridge on the sea - a bridge that is suspended on the air, and trains use the second or lower level of the same bridge. In general, Hong Kong is a beautiful city, and it is even nicer if viewed at night.
