Normally, we only have gatherings to mark a special occasion back home or to participate in one of the many University sponsored events such as Food Fest or Springternational. However this time around, we decided to organize a unique visit to Duke's Lemur Center where we can gain a first-hand insight into the lives of these unique creatures as well as how the biggest Lemur Center in North America functions! We first met for some Dim Sum at the nearby Hong Kong Restaurant and then enjoyed a fantastic tour of the Center's facilities and got to meet different species of Lemurs! This was incredibly successful so we plan on having more events like these in the future!

As an annual tradition, we took the freshmen class, the Class of 2013 out to dinner. While previous turnouts for this event have been modest at best, we had a massive turnout! This was partly due to the 5 freshmen we had in addition to 4 grad students! We enjoyed a delicious meal at a nearby Korean restaurant, where we shared jokes and handed out advice to the freshmen class who were already overwhelmed and incredibly excited about the rest of the semester already! Let's hope this positivity continues and all our newest members have a great time at Duke!

Hong Kong Student Association and The Duke Alumni Club of Hong Kong co-hosted the Freshmen send-off dinner/Alumni gathering event. The turnout was larger than expected, with almost 20 people showing up, even including proud parents! We chose to eat at Mijas, a spacious and elegant Spanish restaurant located at the picturesque Stanley. After a long dinner with plenty of interesting conversations in the meantime, some of us headed to Causeway Bay to enjoy a few drinks, reveling in the excitement the coming year is surely going to bring! Pictures to come soon!

Nick and Jason met up for a meeting discussing plans for HKSA next year. From that meeting, came the idea to organize a freshmen welcome lunch and trip to Duke's very own Lemur center the first weekend after classes start. Hopefully the turnout will be big, and everyone will have a good time!

This time around the Hong Kong Student Association had a small gathering to celebrate Agnes' 20th birthday. We dined at an exquisite Japanese restaurant, whose name escapes me, enjoying delicious sushi, ramen and udon that can't be beat! After dinner, we stayed to chat and catch up a little with each other before heading back to campus.
