Before heading off to Hong Kong, students must go through a “pre-departure” orientation.  This consists of several meetings in a classroom where we go over the specifics of the trip, the academic requirements, field trip locations, cultural excursions as well as advice on traveling abroad, health and security.

In addition, I also take students out to eat at a local dim sum restaurant where they can sample a taste of the food they will be eating, as well a tour of one of the largest Asian supermarkets in the area.
