Our host in Hong Kong, Prof. Yuguo Li, took us for an outing on Wednesday morning to the New Territories. This portion of Hong Kong is relatively unpopulated. It is north of Hong Kong island, bordering the Chinese mainland.
In all, we were five and represented great geographic diversity! At left in the photo above is Jan Sundell, a Swede who has lived in Denmark and Texas and is now affiliated with Tsinghua University in Beijing. Next is Yuguo, who is from the northeastern part of China, but who was educated in Sweden and worked in Australia for several years before settling in Hong Kong. Ingrid, of course, was born in South America, but lives in California. Lina, from mainland China, is a PhD student working with Professor Li.
It was a long drive, about 90 minutes out and perhaps an hour back. We spent some time sitting in traffic waiting to go through the tunnel to leave and then return to Hong Kong island (below). In the New Territories, we took some short hikes mainly along the shore line.
After returning, we had lunch at "Joseph's" on the Hong Kong University campus, and then I gave a 90-minute tutorial lecture on indoor particle dynamics. In all, I'm giving four seminars or lectures here in Hong Kong.
