| Exchange Students Arrived at SHHO | |
| S.H. Ho College organized an orientation lunch for incoming exchange students on 6 September 2012. Some 80 students from USA, Beijing, Australia, Germany, Holland, Mexico, Taiwan, South Korea, Canada, Sweden, Swiss, Austria and UK gathered at Chan Chun Ha Hall, which was a characteristic example of SHHO's multi-national, multi-cultural and multi-linguistic environment. Most of the exchange students had arrived in Hong Kong a couple days ago. The city and the College were still new to them. To make them feel at home, professors and staff took the initiative to strike up conversation. They started chatting with each other real soon. Master Sun introduced the College in a lively manner and gave them practical tips to better embrace the new culture. He used the Chinese proverb "you can learn more by travelling a thousand miles than by reading a thousand books" to encourage the audience to seize the opportunity to experience life on the other side of the world. Students learned to make the symbolic "home gesture" and smiled happily to the camera. Time for buffet lunch. After grabbing their food they sat together to chat and get to know each other. SHHO staff exerted themselves to introduce Chinese typical dessert like "osmanthus cake" and "split bean pudding", all of which seemed and tasted exotic to the foreign young people. |
