Hong Kong Holiday: Hired!
http://laurainhongkong.blogspot.com/2008/05/hired.html
Study Abroad Spring 2008: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Saturday, May 24, 2008. The title says it all. I just accepted an intern position with The Container Store's buying/merchandising department. That means I'll be in Dallas (staying with Brenda and Eileen) for 10 weeks from June 9 to August 15. Hallelujah! I'll have an income again! But I think this internship is going to be SO worth it. And so i went. Congrats, suga free! May 25, 2008 at 12:44 AM. May 25, 2008 at 1:19 AM. Finally on...

Hong Kong Holiday: Durian is Disgusting
http://laurainhongkong.blogspot.com/2008/05/durian-is-disgusting.html
Study Abroad Spring 2008: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Saturday, May 3, 2008. Today was study-day. After thoroughly enjoying the first two days of our holiday weekend, I decided it was probably time to get work done- especially since I have two marketing simulation projects coming to a close next week. At La Bodega- a bar that advertised "Mojito Night" without having any kind of special for mojitos. I was confused. Can we just take a moment to notice how BUFF the butcher is? Max had be...

Hong Kong Holiday: China in the News
http://laurainhongkong.blogspot.com/2008/05/china-in-news.html
Study Abroad Spring 2008: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Monday, May 12, 2008. China in the News. This past semester has been a learning experience in more ways than one. Once again, today proved that lots has happened in Hong Kong and China these first four months. Edison Chan sex scandal made huge news in Hong Kong in January. Brief flu outbreak in Hong Kong before spring break brought back fears that are still very much alive here- thanks to the avian flu and SARS. But Wal-Mart wouldn...

Hong Kong Holiday: The Need to Write
http://laurainhongkong.blogspot.com/2008/05/need-to-write.html
Study Abroad Spring 2008: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Friday, May 9, 2008. The Need to Write. Today was just one of those days where nothing went exactly according to plan, yet I'm somehow feeling great- about life in general. Last night Jen and I went to a karaoke bar with Phil, Matt, Kaz. Boys) and a bunch of others. This was my second karaoke experience in Hong. Kong are just clusters of small, private rooms where you can sing your heart out without embarrassing. After dinner I cam...

Hong Kong Holiday: Dos mas dias
http://laurainhongkong.blogspot.com/2008/05/dos-mas-dias.html
Study Abroad Spring 2008: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Tuesday, May 13, 2008. No one speaks Spanish here, but you probably do! I have an exam tomorrow and no major projects/committments/exams on Thursday. I guess I could have titled this email "Uno Mas Dia" but that would just be rubbing it into the faces of those who have a real hell-week. I like to think of this today as "dieciocho mas dias".because you will be back on Planet Texas in 18 more days. May 14, 2008 at 5:48 AM. View my co...

Hong Kong Holiday: May 2008
http://laurainhongkong.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Study Abroad Spring 2008: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Wednesday, May 28, 2008. I just finished both of my Humanities finals today, thank you very much. When I turned in my first exam, Professor Wang just said, "Thank you." When I handed in my second exam, Professor Chung said, "Have a nice trip home." I just responded, "Oh, I will! Hopefully it didn't come off the wrong way, but it's all I could say. Brand Management grades came out today. Check! Time to celebrate a wonderful semester!

Hong Kong Holiday: Pics from the Madre
http://laurainhongkong.blogspot.com/2008/05/pics-from-madre.html
Study Abroad Spring 2008: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Monday, May 12, 2008. Pics from the Madre. My mom sent me these pictures from their Mother's Day lunch at Pappadeaux's and their return home. These pictures are proof that some things don't change. Mother's Day is almost always at Pappadeaux's and Snowy always wants to be brushed outside. Anyway, I fell in love with the pictures- especially the one of Snowy with her camera-ready attitude. Haha!

Hong Kong Holiday: April 2008
http://laurainhongkong.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Study Abroad Spring 2008: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. McDonald's in Hong Kong. I'm not sure I need to say more. But for those of you who can't imagine the hilarious menu differences, let me explain. There are no fast food outlets on campus, except McDonald's. It's located conveniently between the Park N' Shop grocery store and the school store that sells everything from pencils to hand sanitizer and sick-masks. All of your college needs! Sounds tempting, yes?

Hong Kong Holiday: I come to Hong Kong to watch American Idol?
http://laurainhongkong.blogspot.com/2008/05/i-come-to-hong-kong-to-watch-american.html
Study Abroad Spring 2008: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Thursday, May 15, 2008. I come to Hong Kong to watch American Idol? Yes, it's true. I've probably watched more American Idol episodes online than I ever would have watched from my house in Austin. But that's yet another side effect of wanting "a piece of home.". I probably wouldn't be watching so much American Idol if I had more school work to do. First, you should understand that it's common at UST. Having fewer daily assignments ...
