In the morning, we went to iFly, which is an indoor diving centre. We took 45 minutes to go there. We first had a lesson about the theory on how to fly and the structure of the wind tunnel. Most of us thought that the fan is below us, but actually it is above us, we were so amazed. After waited for a long time, it's finally out turn to fly! We lined outside the wind tunnel, and took turns to go in it with the guidance of the instructor. We all flew very successfully, some of us even could fly by ourselves without the help of the instructor. We all had a memorable experience and enjoyed a lot. 

After flying, we went a famous California fast food shop called In-N-Out, we had burgers, French fries and milkshake there. It's the first time for us to eat in a fast food shop in US. They're so different from the ones in Hong Kong. 
After lunch, we went to Harren Hall to attend a talk about Stanford admission. A very experienced Stanford undergrad introduced us to how Stanford admission system works and answered various questions and squashed rumors of the school. It cleared up a lot of confusion and we had a deeper understanding of Stanford in general. We're very grateful for the talk as it gives us valuable insight into the pronounced university. After dinner in the Union center, we had a campfire where we could gather around, roast marshmallows and make s'mores, a delectable American tradition. We also went around and took pictures with our friends to capture the beautiful moments and built memories that we will cherish. Around the glowing bonfire, under the starry sky, we all felt a warm current of unity in our hearts, it is definitely a heart-warming and memorable night that we will never forget.

July 13th Melanie Ip Janet Lee Dorothy Ma Christine Lum   We attended a visual design class with Bill Scott and together created a get well soon card for our friend. Rather than copying the pictures directly from the internet, we were encouraged to be imaginative. We modified our original drawings of animals and stuck it onto the card. Furthermore, we were instructed to use pen instead of pencils. We learnt that making mistakes is a part of life and we should not be intimidated by this fact. After, we played a game where we rearranged letters, from an original word and made different words from it, sone in different languages. We also had neuroscience after that and we learnt more about that subject as most of us didnt have any idea of what it is. We also learnt many interesting topics regarding neuroscience and we were all intrigued. After classes we prepared for multicultural night. The event was really fun as we got to learn about the cultures and history of a few diff...

July 16th Melanie Ip Greta Lam Janet Lee Christine Lum Dorothy Ma We went on a field trip to San Francisco Bay Area where we spent most of our day. First we took a 2 hour bus tour around the city. During the tour we got to see the whole city of San Francisco and listened to the brief history of the city told by the tour guide. The Golden Gate Bridge was also a highlight of the bus tour. The wind was exceptionally strong and we can rarely experience it anywhere else. We also took a few photos before we continued our trip. We also had two hours of free time after the bus tour, so that we could walk around Fisherman's Wharf. We had a great lunch of seafood, soup and bread and it was delicious. There was also a large number of shops in the Fisherman's Wharf. Since we had some time left we shopped around and bought some souvenirs. Another great thing that we had the chance to see sea lions. We rarely see them in hk except in ocean park and it was a great exoerience for us...

Today is such a special Wednesday! We had a field trip with packed activities. In the morning, we played iFly, a memorable experience with professional instruct. After that, we even learned some physics principles to give a detailed explanation of our flight. We really took a lot from such exciting and unforgettable activity which we could never have back in Hong Kong! After lunch, we had a talk on the administration of Standford University and we learned about the detailed information for application of the university. The Stanford University is such a beautiful place, we really hope that we can continue our study there. In the evening, we had a bonfire. The sunset was magical, we had loads and loads of pictures there. It has been a pity that we did not get ourselves some smores, but it was surely a precious experience to enjoy the view and the weather!
