Hall SongThe Hall song was written by our residencts in 2004. The lyrics aim at encouraging residents to conquer challenges in hall lives without fear, to help and care for each other, and to strive for bright prospects together, making Prosperity Hall an incubator for societal celebrities and elites.

Traditions and Cultures in Prosperity HallHSBC Prosperity Hall is not just a place to sleep. Rather, it is our home. A place where we live, we grow, we prosper. Thanks to all the enthusiastic predecessors, a firm, yet lively, tradition is formed, laying a solid foundation for the youger Prosperians to build on, to enrich, and to pass on to the next generations.

Signature BannerAs a new comer of Hall 2, the first hall tradition you will encounter would probably be the signature banner. The signature banner acts like the guest book signed in a banquet. What makes it different is that it is a huge guest book taking record of the existing and ex-residents.

You have just checked in at HSBC Prosperity Hall !

Time TunnelIf you want to explore the history of Hall 2, you can travel through this “time tunnel”. Group photos of Prosperians taken on Prosperians Night are hanged chronologically on the ground floor corridor.

Annual Publication “昕物 Prosperians”The annual publication “Prosperians”was first published in 2005. Reading through the pages in the old issues, you will be able to rewind the old times where the precious moments of our residents were marked down.

Hall 2 OcampWe are the first Hall to organise Orientation Camp in the Student Residence community. The orientation camp not only provides a chance for new residents to develop friendship with each other, it also help to strength the connection between the new and existing residents in our Hall. Games are specially designed to help students to get adapt to hall life. For example, a Cooking competition will be held in the Ocamp.

Weekly Dessert GatheringWeekly floor dessert night is one of the most popular activities in our hall. Delicious and special desserts are made by Prosperians whole-heartedly. Every room will take turn to prepare dessert for the whole floor. Wide varieties, specialty and internationality of our floor desserts are similar to the famous restaurants introduced by the Michelin Guide.

016 PROSPERIANS

Prosperians NightProsperians Night is an important appointment for both the new and existing residents to come together at beginning of every semester. On that night, residents of the same floor will sit together at a round table which looks like the traditional reunion dinner we have in Lunar Chinese New Year’s Eve. Besides the delicious food, lucky draw and games, the most highlighted event would be the floor-photos taking session at the end, which would become a block of “Time Tunnel”.

Wishing Board 勁過板The Chinese name of this wishing board “Ging Guo Ban 勁過板”literally means “passing through”a GPA of 3, or even exceed 4. On examination eves, residents will fill the wishing board up with their goals written on red papers. Besides, they will also touch the sugar cane hung on the board, playing with the homophone in

Cantonese(掂過碌蔗) , which symbolizes they will be able to do well in the exams.

The passing of Golden BowlThe Passing of Golden Bowl is a special ceremony in the Inauguration of Residents’ Association, which represents passing the spirit of prosperity and our history from the Ex-Residents’ Association to the new one.

Signature bannerThe very first thing every Prosperian does when they enter the residence is to sign their names onto a huge banner. The first banner was born in 2002 and having a signature banner has become a yearly ritual. Hung up on the front wall, it serves as a guest book that records all who live and had lived in Hall 2.

Vending MachineThere is a drink vending machine at the G/F Lobby, you don’t have to walk far away for a cup of coffee.

Hall Living Tips 住 Hall 小貼士

Sometimes, you may find that it’s hard to spend the 10 cent or 50 cent coins. Actually, you can insert all your 10, 50 cent coins in one batch(max $12.4 per order), buy a $5 coke and then you will get your change back in $1 or $2 dollar coins.

如果你想唱硬幣又想飲汽水的話，不妨入晒毫子、散銀入去，再買罐汽水，之後的餘額就會以一元、兩元退回。用這個方法又可以飲到汽水，又可以唱到錢，一舉兩得。

Showroom 306AHave you ever thought of decorating your bed-study room? Here is a showroom by two pretty gals, Germany and Sharon.

Reporter: Desmond

Desmond: I know you two have been living in 306A together for two years. This room must have some special meanings to you. Could you tell me something on this?

Sharon: This room gives me a homey feeling. Living in 306A is like living at home with everything I need available inside the room. Germany: As we are living in a relatively bigger room(Room A) than our toilet-mates, many of my friends like to visit me. I found a great feeling of having party here. We sing, we dance and we laugh. It is so free that we can do what we want without letting others know. HaHa!!!

Both: We always chat before we sleep. That is girls’ ‘pillow talk’. Also, 306A is full of precious memories of this Hall and the University.

028 PROSPERIANS

Desmond: Which part do you like most in this room?

Germany: My bed, definitely!!! My bed, actually that should be our bed, is like something with magic. It can encourage others to talk about themselves from the bottom of their hearts. I always dance on the bed. My roommate sometimes dances with me too. We are enjoying those fantastic nights.

Sharon: Same as my dearest Germany. We chat, we quarrel. We always gossip about others in this hall, and we also talk about every happy moment we had.

Desmond: It seems that 306A is a safe deposit box containing two-year memories of this room. What unforgettable memories do you have in 306A?

Both: At the beginning of the formation of NoNeed2Sleep(the 5th Residents’ Association Executive Committee of Hall 2), all of our RA members have slept on the floor in 306A for a whole night. We could hardly believe that more than ten people could cramp into a room. It was really one of the most memorable things in our hall life. At that period, we always played tricks on whoever came to our room. Eutonia, Nelson and Leo are some of the ‘good’ examples. We enjoy the tricks very much!!

Grace Ng 作為一個freshman 喺 hall2 住左差唔多一年, hall2 104B 俾我既感覺, 係唔經唔覺間成為左我另一個屋企。坦白講我留喺 hall 既時間真係多過我番自己屋企, 多到甚至就連我爸爸媽媽都會經常埋怨我。 作為一樓樓主, 一樓俾我最深既印象除左熱鬧, 似屋企之外, 仲有既就係激氣, 成日都要打鑼打鼓咁四圍搵番屬於一樓 common room 既野, 又要成日執走雪櫃入面變壞晒既食物。雖然係激氣, 但我真係好享受呢一年同一樓所有 floor mates 一齊共渡既所有時光,包括兩次 prosperian night, 無數既糖水會, 唔知幾多個煮宵夜既晚上,你地義憤填膺咁幫我手去搵番晒屬於一樓既用具等等。同你地一齊過既日子真係好開心, 好快樂, 即使係呢段日子我地可能會各自面對好多唔開心既野, 但係我地無形中就好似成為左一家人, 好多野都會搵大家傾。住喺一樓成年, 我多左既唔單止係一班朋友, 仲係一班屋企人, 真係好開心係呢一年有機會住喺hall2, 同你地相識。March 2011 ‧Like

WU, Zhefeng Maple My experience in Hall 2: This is my second year living in Hall 2 and I enjoy Hall 2’s life because it gives me the feeling of home. I remember the first time when I walked in Hall 2, I immediately fell in love with it because of the wall color,cream yellow, which is my favorite wall color. As time goes by, I got more attached to hall 2 because of friendly hall mates and kind security guards as well as various hall activities.March 2011 ‧Like

Yasir Ali I’ve been studying in CityU for almost 3 years and it’s during my last semester that I’ve been given the opportunity to become the floor tutor of Hall 2: Prosperity Hall. It has been quite an enjoyable ride. Becoming a hall tutor gave new colors to my residence life because I’ve never been so involved in hall activities. And I must say that Hall 2 is quite active, it never makes you feel left out and there’s always something happening. I have very caring floor mates who’re always ready to help-out. They were kind enough to help me set my room and helped me get to know all my new floor mates.We have a nice hall master who’s given us a lot of liberty in organizing events and managing the hall. He is always willing to share his unique life experiences and give you advice on university life. Thanks Kevin.So what’s it like to be a hall tutor? You have to attend the weekly tutor-meetings during which you plan hall activities and discuss any floor related problems. You should attend the weekly dessert gatherings on your floors; not only do you get to have some exotic desserts, but it’s also a chance for you to meet all your floor mates and know how they’re doing. Hall 2 arranges several functions during the semester and you should help the management team with the preparation of these functions. For example, I worked on organizing the multicultural night and the hall sports teams for the Edmond Ko Cup.If you try to involve yourself with your floor-mates and the floor activities then it becomes a very enjoyable experience.March 2011 ‧Like

Leong Pui Kwan Wendy Living in hall 2 is my happiest memory throughout my university life till now. There, I have met life- long friends, learned something that I can never learn in my studies, to name but a few. Like many year one university students, getting used to university life is already a big challenge, not to mention living far away from home for the first time. However, I believe I am a lucky person. Thanks to my new friends from hall 2, I soon got used to my hall life. They always accompany me at night like chatting together, drinking, watching movies in room and even monkeying around. This happy time passes quickly without realizing.Indeed, I was an introvert person in the past. After living at hall for almost half a year, I have grown up a lot. Through participating in different activities like being mc in prosperian night and joining different competitions, I am braver and more willing to talk to others. Choosing to live in hall 2 really is one of my correct decisions made in my university life.P.S. I love my friends, all residents and hall 2!

LUO Wenyang Winfrid 我在 hall 2 的九樓開始了香港生活的第一年，這裡給了我十分愉快的經歷。九樓的個性和威名，首先來自它裝備齊全的 common room。從人力驅動的搟麵杖到電力驅動的打蛋器，或者說從傳統的到現代的、東方的到西方的，各種廚具和調料一應俱全。這件事往遠了說，是樓層裡多元文化的縮影；往近了說，這是九樓對宿生種種關心體貼的一個例證。這一切要感謝 tutor Ivan。他對我的熱心幫助，當然還有他做的蛋糕，都是我忘不掉的。而熱情的 local 層友們，也讓我更快的適應了新生活。他們還一度宣稱要教我廣東話，可惜結果是我讓他們的普通話進步甚大。也許多年以後，九樓牆上的照片已經換了多次，九樓的廚具也不再是我熟悉的那一批，但九樓所留給我的記憶，一定還會和 Ivan 剛出爐的美食一樣，永遠是新鮮而難忘的。March 2011 ‧Like

Ng Yu Ming I’ve already lived in this hall for six months. Three months later, I’ll have to leave this hall, back home and return to normal life. As a final year student, I have no chance to return to hall 2 anymore. I am going to miss hall 2 deeply after graduation. I still remembered that, at the very begining, my roomate and I choose hall 6 as our first choice. We were both disappointed for being assigned to hall 2 at that time. But things changed gradually after we moved in. All people on 9/F are so nice that we play, have dessert and watch movie together. Everytime when I feel bored at night, my floormates are always available, playing games and watching movies with me. Sometimes, they will make dessert for the whole floor no matter on the dessert-gathering date or not. Their behaviour is so warm that makes me feel like we are a big family. Hall 2, to me, is not only a sleeping place anymore.My parents always ask me to stay at home. In the past, I refused for my self-independence, but now, I refused for the reason that I want to go back to my ‘home’ to play with those lovely guys. In the coming three months, I wanna join more and more hall activities with my floormates to fill my memory with more happiness. 2010-2011, what an unforgettable year, nice to be a hall 2 member.March 2011 ‧Like

CHEN Qinyi Vanessa Foundation 的時候，住在 hall 2 的同學跟我說，hall 2 就像一個大家庭，來了就不想走，所以我毫不猶豫的在填宿舍申請表的時候，把hall2放在第一位。住了一年之後，我也覺得 hall 2 很有家的感覺。每個剛進 hall 2 的人都會為 common room 齊全的廚具而驚訝，有人說，這是一群吃貨的家，我覺得恰恰是這樣讓整個 hall 都有了生活的氣息。10層掛著去年住在這裡所有人的照片，這是我最喜歡我們層的地方。不管你是不是離開這個層，住在這的人，都願意讓即將住進來的人知道曾經有這麼一群人在這裡生活過，笑過，一年又一年。最喜歡的是 hall 2 的舍歌，雖然我廣東話講的不好，但是每一次和大家一起唱這首歌，到最後真真切切的就是感到“the spirit of prosperity”，分享，面對，銘記，就好像家人一樣互相扶持。我是 Prosperian，我愛 hall 2 > <。March 2011 ‧Like

Sitpo I’m so glad to live in Hall 2. The hall life is beyond description.At first, because of my poor language skills, I was too shy to talk with my floor mates, most of them are mainland and overseas students. As time goes by, we have more opportunities to meet each other. I started to discover the gap between us is not the language abilities, but my mind. They always try to listen and understand my words with patience. Sometimes, we even use body language to express ourselves. No matter where we meet, such as common room, hall canteen, or even podium, I started the communications by just saying “Ni Hao” or “hello”. Making friends with people from all over the world is as easy as opening a door, and the most important thing is precisely your heart.Apart from that, personally, I tired so many “first times” in my life, like cooking, sharing the room with another person, giving foreign friends pocket money. There are still plenty of things I cannot mention here. Without hall life, university to me might much like a tutorial school without a sense of belonging. But Hall 2 gave me the feeling of home.I gained so much unforgettable and invaluable stuff here. Special thanks to Hall 2.March 2011 ‧Like

Welcome to HSBC Prosperity HallYou may feel uncomfortable when you first come to a strange place. Yet it didn’t happen to me when I first entered Hall 2 nearly two years ago. I definitely had a different feeling from others. What I felt is warmth and happiness. It is a place for us to share happiness with our hallmates and to enjoy our hostel live, which may be the last and the only chance in our life. A hostel is not only a place to study and live, it also gives us a lot of invaluable experiences. You will learn a lot from where you are living, from where you are enjoying.

During my term as a Vice-President of the Residents’ Association (RA) Executive Committee last year, I had gained a lot of experience in organising activities for our residents. It was not an easy task but definitely the most unforgettable year in my career as a student. It is a duty for me and my RA members to contribute to the hall by taking up the role as councilors. With the support of the residents, I am elected to be the Chairperson of the Council this year together with other council members. We know that sharing is of the most important in our hall. That’s why we will try our best to share our experience with the new RA members. We aim to promote the culture and the spirit of Prosperity Hall.

Reporter: Vivian

Vivian: What’s your first impression of HALL 2?

Steve: It is my first time to live in the student residence, sharing a room with other. The first thing come to my mind is that the bed study room is really small, just about the same size as my home washroom in Shanghai, not to mention that I had to share it with other. In Shanghai, the servant would do the cooking, cleaning and laundry for me, while I have to do all these by myself here.

Vivian: Is there anything unforgettable to you in HALL 2?

Steve: Yes, one was on 3/F. My roommate and I bought an aerosol insecticide one day, yet we didn’t know how to use it. As a result, the entire floor, including the corridor and other rooms, was full of dense smoke, as if it were on fire! Another impressive thing was not in Hall 2, but with Hall 2 residents, which was shopping and having massage in mainland China. I got dozens of obstinate circular marks on my back after cupping.

068 PROSPERIANS

Vivian: What’s your impression of Hong Kong?

Steve: Actually, Hong Kong is not that unfamiliar to me. Because of my father’s business, I’ve come to Hong Kong for several times before. My understanding of Hong Kong was from the movies of my favorite actor, Chow Yun Fat. I’ve watched all his movies, like “A Better Tomorrow” and “God of Gamblers”. The local snacks and world cuisine are my favorite parts of Hong Kong. I used to go shopping in Central, Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui every time I came to Hong Kong. I held a great expectation before I came to here for study, even though the real life here is quite different from what I thought, I’m still a fan of Hong Kong. I received four offers from universities in the U.S. If I didn’t come to Hong Kong, I would probably study there. I always prefer Asian countries as I want to live closer to my parents. Hong Kong is great at this point and it’s a very convenient city.

Vivian: Hong Kong is famous for its fantastic nightlife, do you enjoy it?

Steve: HaHa, I’ve been to LKF once only. Honestly, I’m not a fan of clubbing. I went there with my friends. Another reason is that I’m not much of a drinker. I will blush at a drop of liquor. And because of this, I was laughed at by my friends after drinking a lot for the punishment of losing game.

Vivian: What do you like about Hall 2?

Steve: I like the weekly desert nights in Hall 2, which enables me to have desert every week. Besides, I like people living in Hall 2, especially my floor-mates, who are nice and friendly. I feel lucky to live in this hall.

Vivian: Is it the first time you came to Hong Kong?Johnna: Right, but I have been here for two years.

Vivian: So after living in Hong Kong for two years, do you still feel strange to the things or people in Hong Kong?Johnna: No, I am used to live in Hong Kong. It’s comfortable.

Vivian: Within this two years, you also live in hall two?Johnna: Ya.

Vivian: Do you have any favorite food in Hong Kong?Johnna: Well I love Hong Kong food. It’s delicious, but I think Hong Kong foods are very unhealthy. There’re very few vegetables so I don’t eat it very often. I usually cook by myself.

Vivian: No offense. Compared with USA, isn’t that Hong Kong foods are more healthy than American food?Johnna: No, weight doesn’t mean healthy. Everybody in Hong Kong eat rice and noodles. Very unhealthy. And Breads. So many breads. I think Hong Kong people eat awful food.

Vivian: Because you think eating rice may make you fat?Johnna: Of course! That’s science! I think Hong Kong people have an illusion of what American are. Most of us don’t like Macdonald. We eat many vegetables. Like I used to eat salads for my dinner.

070 PROSPERIANS

Vivian: Do you have any favorite place in Hong Kong?Johnna: Yes, my room is my favorite place because this is the only place I can be alone. I come from a place where there is only six thousand people and Hong Kong has seven million. I am getting used to the crowd but I like being able to go to my room and being alone.

Vivian: Apart from studying in hall, do you have any other hobbies?Johnna: Of course. I have two part time jobs. One is in SRO. One is outside CityU. And I like to hang out with my friends. Go to the Gyms. I cook all of my meal in the common room. I cook lots of things, my grandma taught me cooking when I was small and I love to walk around different places in Hong Kong.

Vivian: Do you have any impressed or special experience in hall 2?Johnna: In my first semester here, my friend and I cook Thanks Giving Dinner for all of my friends like local students, foreign students.Vivain: So bad I am not here as I want to experience Thanks Giving Day long time ago.

Vivian: What will you usually do at hall?Godfrey: Working on assignments, reading books, sometimes I will cook. I’ve tried to cook 炒肉,老鴨湯,水煮魚 ...

Vivian: Have you ever participated in intra-hall or inter-hall competitions?Godfrey: Of course, quite a lot actually. I’ve particpated in the aquatic competition, badminton competition and the hall singing contest.

Vivian: Why would you like to particpate in these competitions?Godfrey: No special reason. On the one hand, I’m interested in these competitions, on the other hand, as one of the Hall 2 members, I would lik to contribute to the hall.

072 PROSPERIANS

Vivian: 你參加咁多比賽,有冇攞過獎?可以分享經驗嗎?邊個比賽最令你 印象最深刻?為什麼?Godfrey: 代表hall的比賽,暫時就沒有攞過什麼獎,不過就試過代表學校參加空手道大專錦標賽,得過大專盃的銅牌。經驗這些…我覺得還好吧,反正每一個比賽我都很認真練習,一般來說,我逄星期一,三,五都要練習。至於,最印象深刻既比賽應該係代表業昕出戰水運會, 跟hall裡面的朋友一起練習,一起出戰,然後比賽當天也有很hall 2的人出來為我們打氣,就是感覺很好。

Vivian: 你說參加了Singing contest,咁你唱咩歌?有冇特別意思?Godfrey: 我就唱了陶吉吉的<寂寞的季節>,其實沒有什麼特別的意思,就是現在沒有女朋友,還有就是我其實很喜歡陶吉吉的,周杰倫我也喜歡 … 他的歌也很好聽。

Vivian: 聽講有很多fans個日撐你場?都是 hall2 的朋友嗎?Godfrey: 是的,那天都有蠻多朋友來支持我,除了hall2 504A的steven 及robert之外,還有其他hall的朋友也有來,hall1,3,4,5的朋友也有來支持我。

Vivian: 如果叫你評分作為你對自己在hall的活躍度及contribution,最多10分,你俾自己幾多分?Godfrey: 8分,或者8.5分吧,我覺得。因為我覺得自己也蠻活躍,反正不只是留在Hall內什麼都不做,也不參加hall的活動,而且我參加hall活動的次數也頗多吧。另外,平時在hall內見到在common room弄亂了的東西也會收拾一下,畢竟我在這裡都已經居住了第二年吧,對這裡已經有了歸屬感,你知道嗎?我們foundation過後,第二年其實我們都可以選擇住在那一個宿舍,但是我仍然選擇hall 2,是因為我覺得hall 2真是很好,所以才留在這兒。

Vivian: 今年我作為hall莊,都想聽下作為宿生對我地既意見,好同壞都講 D~有咩可以改進既地方?Godfrey: 我覺得整體來說,都做得很好。我記得上年暑假參加了你們的上莊舉辦的O CAMP,他們把我們帶到香港島的沙灘去BBQ跳CAMP FIRE。我覺得HALL莊能把整棟HALL內不同國籍,種族的人都帶到一起是一件不容易的事,而你們舉辦的活動也不少,次數又十分頻繁,每個月平均都有兩次活動,我都為你們感到累,這樣可能影響到你們學習。如果真的說要改善,就是你們要先堅固學業吧。

Macau Scenic SpotsIgreja ou Capela de São Francisco Xavier (St. Francis Xavier’s Church 聖方濟各堂) Built in 1928, this chapel follows the baroque style of Macau’s major churches. It has a cream and white facade with oval windows and a bell tower. It stands behind the monument commemorating the local victory over pirates in 1910.The chapel contains some of the most sacred relics of Christian Asia. In a silver reliquary is a bone from the arm of St. Francis Xavier, who followed his missionary successes in Japan by coming to the China coast, where he died in 1552 on Sanchuan Island, 50 miles from Macau. The relic was destined for Japan but religious persecution there persuaded the church to keep it in Macau’ s St. Paul’ s. It was moved first to St. Joseph′ s and in 1978 to the chapel.

Largo do Senado (Senate Square 議事亭前地)

The Largo do Senado is a 3700m2 paved area in the centre of the former Portuguese colony of Macau, China, enclosed by the buildings of the Leal Senado, the General Post Office, and St. Dominic’s Church. The square is paved with a wave-patterned mosaic of colored stones, created by Portuguese experts, in the traditional Portuguese pavement. The square is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Historic Centre of Macau”. From the main road to the church of St. Dominic, the pavement extends to the ruins of St. Paul’s, making the heart of the city a pedestrian paradise.

Ruinas de Sao Paulo (Ruins of St. Paul’s 大三巴牌坊)The ruins now consist of the southern stone façade—intricately carved between 1620 and 1627 by Japanese Christians in exile from their homeland and local craftsmen under the direction of Italian Jesuit Carlo Spinola—and the crypts of the Jesuits who established and maintained the Cathedral. The façade sits on a small hill, with 66 stone steps leading up to it. The carvings include Jesuit images with Oriental themes, such as a woman stepping on a seven-headed hydra, described by Chinese characters as ‘ Holy Mother tramples the heads of the dragon’. A few of the other carvings are the founders of the Jesuit Order, the conquest of Death by Jesus, and at the very top, a dove with wings outstretched.

There is a cross on the top of the Ruins of St. Paul’s, under which further divided into three layers. In each layers, there is a bronze a statue, made by early casting factory that manufactured gun in Macau, placed in the niches. Under the cross is a bronze dove, representing the Holy Spirit. Next to the Bronze dove, there are carvings of sun, moon and star, representing the moment when Virgin Maria got pregnant.

You will feel like you are eating Durian not Durian ice cream. It is not expensive. It costs only $14. If you like to eat Durian, you must try this one. You can find it easily in Taipa. The second one is about the salesperson of pork jerky and beef jerky. They promote their Pork jerky enthusiastically, urging us to try their product in the hope that we would buy some from them. On the Rua de S. Paulo, you can try a lot of pork jerky and beef jerky. The most interesting thing is though we have told them that we won’t buy and they also urged us to try. If you go to Macau, you must go there and try those pork jerky and beef jerky. The most important thing is: you don’t need to pay!

The Macau Multi-Cultural Tour has benefited me in both personal and professional way. Definitely, this well organized tour is a worthwhile journey that I will remember forever!Personally I have met some amazing people during the trip and have made friends with hallmates. They are pretty kind and helpful. We shared our feelings together and exchanged our opinions with each other. I think traveling with people from different cultural background has given me lots of fun and amazing experience. What’s more, I also visited some beautiful landmarks such as Ruins of St.Paul(大三巴牌坊) and The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel(威尼斯人) and tasted beautiful delicacies such as Pastel de nata(葡式蛋撻) and Portuguese cuisine(葡國餐). Professionally the Multi-Cultural tour provided me with an insight to Macau history and the experience to Macau culture. In fact, being able to immerse myself in cultural aspects and traditional lifestyle activities was an amazing learning experience. For instance, municipal Council of Macau(澳門市政廳) provided me a general idea of its historical development and Taipa Houses-Museum(龍環葡韻住宅式博物館) offer me a close touch of its daily life. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I can now use in my life of study and relate back to in many aspects.Actually, each day consisted of fantastic cultural experiences! Therefore, I strongly recommend the cultural tour of our hall to you. Not only can you gain wonderful experience but also make lots of friends.

The study tour to Macau really left me an unforgettable memory in my university life. I had not expected that a two-day trip would bring so much for me, but it did actually. We can never have a good understanding of a culture unless we experience it ourselves——try its food, visit its attractions and learn its history, all of which are what exactly we had in the study tour. We tasted the delicious Pastel de nat (葡式蛋撻), had a nice Portuguese cuisine (葡國餐) and enjoyed all kinds of famous special products in Rua do Cunha (官也街) such as wife cakes and dried meet. Through the visits to those historical sites like Ruins of St.Paul (大三巴牌坊) and Casa da Cheang (鄭家大屋) in Macau, I knew more about its past. Its modern city center and grand casinos presented another prosper appearance of Macau. The comparison undoubtedly made me have an insight of the change and development of Macau. Besides, the tour in the Macau Museum and Taipa Houses-Museum (龍環葡韻住宅式博物館) taught me a lot about its history. The trip was really a good learning experience full of colors and enjoyment. When it went to an end, I found it so short and was reluctant to leave the land of Macau. The organizers did a lot of work for the study tour and prepared it very well. Everything ran smoothly and I quite appreciated the self-learning and sharing part in the study tour. In addition, they invited some local tutors to give us guided tours when we visited some tourist attractions such as Taipa Houses-Museum and Casa da Cheang. These guided tours gave more detailed infomration and helped me have a better understanding of Macau. The study tour exactly provided me a chance to widen my horizon and explore the world. I gained a lot of fun and benefits from this wonderful opportunity! Based on my personal experience, I sincerely suggest you: Don’t miss the study tour! You will find it worthwhile!
