Hong Kong University was on my radar of places to visit and it happened that Emily wanted to have breakfast near HKU so after a scrumptious dimsum breakfast which included a taro lava toast, we walked to the university to tour the campus and had our mini photoshoot. I knew Emily from COCM when we were both volunteers there in the summer of 2013. We became closer on the Gospel Team trips, especially the one to France as we were roommates and were out there talking to strangers to invite them to our gospel events. It was fun to see her again in her homeland.
The campus was exceptionally quiet because most students were on semester break.
We had a funny mini adventure while doing the photoshoot. We had this specific corridor in mind that we had seen others take photos at so Emily, being the outgoing proactive person she is, asked every stranger we passed by about where the location is at. After a few attempts, she found a student who was really enthusiastic and brisk-walked with us to the building with the pretty corridors. The "tour guide" walked really fast but we had to keep up with him since he was so kind to go the extra mile (literally) to bring us there. Haha... The pretty corridors belong to the Main Building, an Edwardian Baroque-style building designed by Alfred Bryer of Leigh & Orange built in 1910-12. It is one of the 105 declared monuments in Hong Kong. Pretty cool huh?
The palm trees are as tall as the clock tower.

It was noon when we left and we headed to Causeway Bay for lunch.
