Sometimes, We Spend the Day on a Yacht

Yes, that's right. On Saturday, 45 exchange students chartered a yacht - and it was so much fun!


It even came with a speedboat, with wakeboards!


It picked us up on campus at 9:30 am, and whisked us to a private beach about an hour away. The beach was gorgeous! A few people decided to swim from the yacht to the beach, while others took the speedboat over. We had only just arrived to the beach when...it started to rain. Of course - we had had nothing but blue skies for two weeks, and the moment we hit the beach, it starts raining.

But we did not let this ruin our day. We piled back on the boat, blared some music and proceeded to see who could jump off the upper deck of the boat most creatively! People were doing dives, flips, cannonballs...after about an hour, I built up the courage to jump.

I was really scared.

But it was so much fun!

By 3 pm, the sun was out and everyone was swimming. Around 6, the boat headed back to campus, and we got to see a breathtaking sunset en route. I swear, someone could have told me I was in Hawaii or something like that, and I would have believed them! Hong Kong is such a beautiful place - there really is something for everyone!
