    my trip to bali <3

    June 25, 2026 /

    By Yun, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology Business School – Hong Kong I went on an amazing trip with my friends to Bali, Indonesia in December 2025. It’s around a 5-hour flight from Hong Kong and one of the cheapest destinations in South East Asia! Our first half was spent in Uluwatu, and second half we spent it in Canggu (the more crowded and touristy area). Amazing beaches Tasty food Breathtaking sunsets Other places we recommend! Villas in Bali are cheap, so if you’re going with a group of friends, the final cost per person is quite little (we paid US$100 pp for 6 nights in total) Some…

    finally here in HK

    June 25, 2026 /

    By Yun, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology Business School – Hong Kong I flew from my hometown back in mainland China, about a 2-hr flight from HK and I was lucky enought to see HKUST from the sky. What a beautiful university. My first impression of HK from the sky was how tall of a city it is. I had never seen such a big cluster of tall buildings all around the city. (27/08/2025) After landing, I was immediately hit with the humid and hot weather that Hong Kong summers are known for. A nice lady came to pick me up from the airport, and she barely spoke…

    food recs in HK :)

    June 24, 2026 /

    By Yun, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology Business School – Hong Kong Hong Kong is known for the amazing food it has and as someone who has lived here for several months already, I have to agree. Below are some of the best food spots I’ve been so far. Waso Café (Kwun Tong) It’s a very popular Cha Can Teng chain in HK, and we went to their Kwun Tong store (relatively less crowded than their other locations) NOC Café (Tseung Kwan O) This is a great brunch spot if you’re looking for healthy and yummy options. My all-time favourite is their beef bowl. Calle Ocho (Causeway Bay)…
