First Rugby game!


My first rugby game was a complete adrenaline rush. I was only in the game for the last couple minutes, but during those ten minutes I tackled two people and got tackled twice. I also assisted the ball twice and participated in the rucks where I basically had to grab on to two of my teammates (one who was in front of me and the other who was on my right) and push the other team away from the ball, so that when the ball is thrown in the middle of both teams, our team would get it. The rucks and tackling were definitely the hardest for me but after only two weeks of practice I was extremely happy with how I played and about how encouraging my teammates all were.

I did have to take a break from rugby because of my allergies to all of the pollution in Hon Kong, so I won't be playing my next game for another month or so which will be in Taiwan. :)

HKU campus: Main building and library.









I know this post is a little late but here is my "new" school. Although most of the campus doesn't really look like this because they're constructing it to look more and more modern, I am usually around this area everyday. My favorite part of the campus is basically that it's different then any other campus that I've attended or been to (On one side of the campus there is a pond and on another side there are skyscrapers). There is a lot more to the campus and once I take more pictures, I'll make sure to update this post. Oh, and pictures from my Thailand and Cambodia trip are coming soon!
