"All around the Globe" is the first activity series organized by the Taskforce for Enhancing
International Bonding on Campus (iBond) Programme Committee in
2014
which aimed to widen
students' global perspectives. As the name suggested, the theme of the series was "travelling".
In January, besides a walking tour, guest speakers of different professions were invited to
share their knowledge and experiences with students, which were more than just travelling
tips, but inspirations.
The ubiquitous scents and special smells offer us an alternative to feel the vibrancy
of the city. During the trip of walking down the historic streets and alleys in Central
and Sheung Wan, the participants nosed their way through Hong
Kong's history, at the same time reflected on the influence of
modern development on people's collective memories.
Walking Tour
What an experience! I
have been on other tours
of Hong Kong before but this
one was completely different. I
got to learn more about its historical
origins and have the opportunity to try some
authentic Hong Kong tea! I really enjoyed
it and it was very worthwhile.

Participants got to meet the guest speakers from travel-
related backgrounds face-to-face and gained insights
from their talks. Mr. Steve Lo talked about his joys and
grieves in running marathons in extreme areas like Sahara
and the North Pole. Students were all amazed by Steve's
endurance as well as his determination to self-challenge!
Another speaker, Mr. Paul Chan Chi-yuen told the audience his
stories about travelling West Africa, Bosnia, Iran and North Korea,
as well as how he translated such experiences into words and
thus became a travel writer. In the last talk conducted by Mr.
Horatio Tsoi, a veteran TV producer of HKTV, students did not
only get to know his intriguing experiences while shooting
infotainment programmes in Vanuatu (
瓦努阿圖
) and
Afghanistan, but also realized how much endeavour it
took for high-quality TV production.
Talks
It was my great pleasure to
attend such incredible talks which
inspired me how to live a better life.
And I got to realize that if we are more
open-minded, we can see the world from
a totally new angle.

Mr. Steve Lo told the audience
about his running life.
In the closing finale, Dr. Rebecca Lee Lok-sze, who
has explored the Poles for more than
18
times and is
renowned for polar research, shared with the audience
on her expedition. Dr. Lee's lifelong dedication gave
students a better understanding of the greatness of the
world and the significance of environmental protection.
