Due to the jet lag, I wound up waking up relatively early (6am). It was quite refreshing waking up this early. I decided to relax a bit before looking around my uncle [B]’s apartment. I will take pictures tomorrow of the area. There is a gym here (free of charge for people 16 years or older), a pool, and a tennis court. Additionally, there is a shuttle bus that goes directly to the MTR station to Tai Po Market.

The travel from the apartment that I’m staying at to the City University of Hong Kong (hereon in, CityU) takes about 45 minutes. When I first arrived at CityU, I saw that the place was huge. I had a chance to talk to and befriend many of the locals as well as other exchange students, some from Singapore, parts of Europe, and even the States! We also attended a campus tour and saw many of the facilities there, including the library, the pool, the gym, and the cafeterias (called canteens here). Additionally, I attended a lecture on adjustment tips in Hong Kong. I felt it was highly informative, even though much of it was a review for me.

Soon after the lecture, I met up with one of my relatives who works in the university. He showed me around Academic Building 1 more in-depth, including a library tour and a tour of the various floors there, which included seeing the labs. The library there is huge! Even though it is only one floor, it is very large and has a lot of room for seating.

Shortly after walking around the campus some more and eating some food there, I decided to go back to the apartment. Thus ends day two! =)
