It's been indeed a long time since I wrote here. Life is busy, that sums it up pretty well. Assignments are coming in, only 5 weeks left for the 1st semester! It's amazing how time is flying so fast ! Been here already for two months now! Law school is really great, after 4 years of economic theories, it is really refreshing to be doing something that has real life, day-to-day, application! Also I've started to learn mandarin, it's a bit easier (at least for now) than I had expected, I guess trying to learn cantonese two years ago scared me off a bit, but now I have more interest (personal and profesional) to learn. Hong Kong is still warm around 30C even though we are almost at the end of October! Hopefully we'll get to see drop in temperature sometime soon, I'm getting tired of sweating around in HK.
Today I went to Shenzhen in mainland China! It's really amazing how much everything has improved in less than 2 years! It's becoming very modern, you could have sworn that your werent in the PRC anymore, which is quite an amazing feat in itself! It's really strange how different it still is from Hong Kong, you get a very different feeling even though most shops are similar and the language is most of the time the same. I've posted a small video and some pictures of the Dongmen area, which is the shopping district of Shenzhen!
That's all for me for today!
