The weekend of December 6 -8th, I had the opportunity visit Michael in Hong Kong for his final exam presentation for the fall semester.  During their last year of university in the HKU Architectural studies, students have a one-year project.  Michael’s assignment is to design hypothetical Olympic village shops and housing for guests who will attend the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.   I am very proud of his excellent work and it was a treat to meet some of Michael’s classmates.

Here Michael helps his friend prepare her drawings for her presentation.

Above, Michael took me to his favorite Dim Sum restaurant for brunch.  Later that day we took a ride across the harbor to Kowloon.  The Hong Kong skyline is very beautiful from the ferry.   We visited other of his favorite places to shop and eat and the weather was delightful.   At Michael’s local grocery store they were even selling REAL Christmas trees.  Look closely and you will see a price tag of about 700 Hong Kong dollars, which translates to about $100 USD.
