For the last 2 days, I attended a 1.5-day orientation session for postgraduates at CUHK. There were 2 things that crossed my mind – I felt old and I felt like I had traveled to Mainland China. I felt old because I think I’m one of the older ones in the group, and I felt like I was in Mainland because I heard more Mandarin than Cantonese and I saw more Simplified than Traditional Chinese.
Apart from that, a question from one of the orientation speakers got stuck in my head – what do I want to get out of my short stay at the university? Hopefully, I’ll have that figured out before I graduate in 2 years.
