Our lives and travels
After Chantal finishing the conference, Chris and Chantal explored Hong Kong, enjoying sunset views and traditional Chinese cuisine. Activities included visiting temples, shopping malls, and a cat café. They experienced mixed dining encounters, from delectable pastries to disappointing dim sum. Their exit included a visit to a Buddhist nunnery before returning home.
Chantal attended the Law, Literature and Humanities Association of Australasia 2024 conference at HKU. While navigating the hilly campus proved challenging, the stunning views were rewarding. Highlights included the conference dinner and evening campus explorations. With the conference concluded, Chantal and Chris look forward to further exploring Hong Kong.
On the first conference day for Chantal, Chris explored Nan Lian Garden and Chi Lin Nunnery, appreciating their tranquility and beauty. He witnessed a Buddhist ceremony at the nunnery before visiting Kowloon Walled City Park, rich in history. Later, he reunited with Chantal for a spicy noodle dinner, ending the day with ice cream.
Chantal attended a PhD Day at the conference in Hong Kong, while Chris explored vibrant areas like Sheung Wan and Mong Kok. They reunited to navigate the crowded Ladies Market, assessing its offerings and enjoying a quiet rooftop retreat.
The journey to Hong Kong was an enjoyable experience. Activating essential cards and exploring local sights, like Hong Kong Park and The Peak, enriched the experience. The vibrant Sheung Wan area offered delightful dining, including Dim Sum. The visit balanced cultural insights with culinary adventures, promising more exploration ahead.
