About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have an in-depth summer trip before I start working in the legal field.

ABOUT ME

An ordinary Hong Kong young man in his 20s. In my 4 years undergraduate studies, I major in Law and minor in Politics. Of all law subjects I prefer Human Rights, Environmental, Administrative, Litigation and Corporate Finance. As for politics, I am particularly interested into topics in relation to elections and Government structure (Hong Kong, Taiwan and United States).

I was proud to be hosted by wonderful people during my 2-month long graduation trip in May and June 2011. They made my trip a relaxing and an eye-broadening one.

I was a conservative catholic. But the study of human rights law allows me to embrace the LGBT community and other minorities. Indeed I have some close friends who are Gay/ Lesbian. I insist that God's love should be given to all men on Earth. We are all equal. Feel free to discuss with me this issue or any others :) If you have some unique view / interesting comment on this, remember to include it in your request, it will substantially increase the chance I host you hahaha !

PHILOSOPHY

Try my best - and god do the rest.

Don't worry too much about tomorrow, enjoy the present. As present is already a present.

Cherish your family and friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am the kind of person not particularly fancy shopping and having a luxurious experience in foreign countries. Instead I love to keep things simple - thump up for natural beauty, ancient achitecture, rich in humanities ! I am very much into interaction with people of various background and truly believe in that way, I will be learning interesting stories and making interesting friends. All of my personality points to the very fact that i would love to be hosted by fellow couchsurfers and I truly believe there will be a lot of interesting sharing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All are fantastic experience. Different hosts have different personalities but all are exceptionally good people. Pleasure is all mine to join and take part in the CS project and hopefully when I'm back to HK and be able to host surfers, people will think i'm a good host too :-D hehe

Interests

Piano (grade 8), violin (grade 5), French Horn, swimming, gym, badminton, movie (black swan and king's speech are my recent favorite, have you watched these?:), karaoke, photo-taking...you name it !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing thing...well...I have completed my 5 years in law school and I'm still alive !!! Isn't that amazing!? I seriously think it is ! :)

Well, I have visited the Great Wall (the only human structure that can be viewed on Moon?) and the Spectacular Niagara Falls! I can't help but appreciate these global Wonders!

Teach, Learn, Share

It would be interesting to learn how to say basic greetings in different languages! I know that there will only be around 3 days that we can stay with our hosts, but it will be cool, if time allows, to learn the history and the government of that country, some special tradition etc.
