27 May 2010
On Thursday, I spent a long day in Kowloon, the complementary part of Hong Kong across the harbor from the island. In all, I visited three universities: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (pictured below), City University, and Hong Kong Polytechnic University (shown at bottom). At each campus, a student or post-doc with whom I worked at Berkeley is now on the faculty and served as my host: Chris Chao at HKUST, Alvin Lai at CityU, and Frank Lee at Poly.
After a full day of meetings, discussions, laboratory tours, and a seminar at HKUST, Ingrid joined the party and we had a Chinese banquet dinner for about 12 at Poly, hosted by Frank. Then, we had a scenic return trip by taxi, ferry, and taxi back to HKU on the Hong Kong island. The top photo shows the stunning nighttime scenery from the ferry.
