It looks really nice aswell!! Whats the kind of traditional food over there? Its so cool eating foods in different countries it makes a good change.

And LSE (hopefully if i get the results) yourself? And yeah i tried a summer placement at law firms but they usually only take students who are already at university (sucks) but i dont think i will be able to find a job anywhere close to where i live. Im trying to ask a few local small firms if i can volunteer.


Yeah Hong Kongs actually quite an exiciting place! The food is described quite well in this article I found: The fusion of east and west also characterises Hong Kong's cuisine, where dim sum, hot pot, and fast food restaurants coexist with haute cuisine :tongue:

If I had to pick one cuiseine to eat for the rest of my life itd have to be Japanese tho! :coma:

And wow LSE is a really good uni so that should be good! Im applying to mainly bath, birmingham and reading for an accounting course with the big 4, I get paid to study under a cool new course! I can even get charted status within 5 years :biggrin:

Im Chinese myself BUT JAPANESE IS THE BEST its literally the king OF ALL FOODS, I think Im going to put that in my 'about me', already have over 35 gifs there :lol:

but yeah check it out, the flavours are AMAZINGLY FRESH, theres clarity texture, freshness and amazing cooking techniques to bring out the best of every ingredient! Its also heavily seafood influenced


Im probably going to do a flying start programme from PwC or KPMG these are the global undisputed BIG 4 in accoutning

Spending it how I usually spend my summers - relaxing, have a few days out and moan about it being too warm :colondollar:

I've got my driving test in August as well. Hoping to pass first time but not getting my hopes up :laugh:

Hey me too! What are you gonna be doing while you're there? Also what city are you going to?


I'm going to the south of Krakow, you?
Looking for employment ini. Still in two minds whether I'll go back to uni for fall as well...
But for now I'm going to be tutored in Microsoft XL shouldn't be stressful, and then apply for some jobs. I can't apply, I feel, before I brush up on XL though. I want to clean myself up and start doing administrative work in my field of study this summer. :u:
So if I don't go uni again I'll be sorted with employment ideally.

In between that, sleeping my arse off.

You are such an amazing ****ing person, I can feel it.
Probably going to the US for 3 weeks or so and then it's just prep for postgraduate study :bigsmile:

Chillax with friends, finally start a Youtube channel, hit the gym (I said this last summer), watch all of the movies/ shows I've missed out on, explore my area a bit more and generally just relax.

Since exams have finished or atleast on the verge of finishing that means Summer for students has almost begun for some it has already begun.

So how is everyone spending their long summer??

Are you going on Holiday, do you have anything planned?

Interested to know what others are doing and may gives people ideas to do different things etc etc


Study and Stress basically.

Learning to drive, doing some stuff for an EPQ, then quite probably spending too much time home alone and driving myself insane very gradually.

All good stuff.

I honestly don't even know what kpop dancing would look like. Breakdancing isn't just the head spinning stuff though it's got on your feet pop locking and stuff lol

It's the first time I am travelling by myself lol and I am so excited, but also slightly terrified -- but I'm going to Myanmar (Burma) for about 4 weeks to do some volunteering with a few organisations and also, hopefully, will be able to do some volunteering locally as well ! Once I arrive back though, I'm off to NCS already ..

Also, has anyone actually done NCS before? I've heard quite a wide range of things about it and honestly not sure what to expect.
- Work experience
- Mountain climbing in Wales (hopefully I will and I'm hoping I don't get attacked by sheep)
- Reading books
- Finally getting Netflix and watching OITNB and Game of Thrones
- FINDING DORYYYYYY
- Amsterdam for a day (hopefully)
- Part time job
- Catch up on yoga
- Check out the lesbian scene in Soho :h:
