10 Orientation

I always thought I grew up to be a conservative man. I fought in primary school twice but everybody fought in primary school.

At the end of their second orientation week (which is highly disorientational because they keep you from sleeping more than 2 hours a day for a week and it's notorious among professors. Probably another reason the university is willing to minimize the traditions. In Chinese, when you talk about tradition, you would really thought of something good, but now I think technically, you can call eating human flesh a tradition and the word is complete neutral.), we were taken to run from the hall, down Hong Kong island to Sea World which is at least ... . It started from 8 pm after 800 sit-ups, 800 push-ups, 400 jumps finished in groups of 5, and we arrived at Sea World at 12 pm. Then we were supposed to complete this task that the seniors set for us. We were each given one HK dollar to go back to our dorm but the bus fares are all above 4.5.

Then the HK kids came up with this idea that we just took a cab back and borrow money from other hallmates.

A good math problem is a problem that gives you insights when you only think about it, not a statement that you simply prove right or wrong.

The seniors obviously considered their task that way too so half an hour of scolding started again about how we "wasted their thoughtful design". And we were taken to another place 1 hr run away and to complete the same task, in pairs.

Another guy and I tried to talk to ambulances, police cars, goods distribution cars 4 in the morning that we could find on the street and finally a mini-bus driver told us to hop in and we finally got back. We were the latest pair and the other pairs obviously walked back faster.

Let me just make my verbal revenge for one last time and you'll be all set to turn to the next page of a personal highlight of my life.

So I still don't know what they expected us to do other than walking back. Maybe it's just stupid problems call for meaningless solutions.
