However, what you cannot look lifestyle and was able to plan my activities with them with up is every struggling life that is associated with the disease. more ease. I learned that sometimes I just needed to slow As medical students, we learn about the disease from a book, the pace down, especially when dealing with groups of but what we actually need to know is not the disease, but people who have suffered a lot from the disease and from our patients. That is what I really wanted to learn about when their medications and when dealing with people who have I first applied for this internship. lived on the streets for a long time and who have been Being in Leeway turned out to be a really inspiring mistreated before.

They started telling me their life stories bit by worried about me being attacked by the patients and thought bit. At first, it was a really general picture, but as time went they might be undisciplined. However, my experience proved by, they gave me more details, together with their thoughts them all wrong.

It was not until one time when we went to a dinner together that she revealed to me that she always kept things to herself. She did not want the others to worry about her. Therefore, she even did not tell her nurse about her problems. It took a long discussion for me to convince her to tell the nurse so that she could get some pain relief.

My internship provided me with opportunities to interact with Leeway is Connecticut’s first and only skilled nursing home people that I had never encountered in my life before, like dedicated solely to the treatment of people living with AIDS. drug addicts.

New Asia College has been organizing an annual short-term student exchange program with Yale University since 1993. The theme for this year’s exchange is “Law & Society”. Dr. Peter J.L. Man, College Secretary of the College, led eight New Asia student representatives to Yale University from January 17 to 31, 2004. The Yale group paid a reciprocal visit to our College from March 7 to 20. The Yalies have now returned to their studies, and our students are getting back to their normal schedules. All have exclaimed their wonderful experience in the exchange program, which symbolizes the long lasting relationship between Yale and our College. The following articles were written by the Yalies to express their feelings during their visit in Hong Kong. Snapshots Nilakshi G. Parndigamage

Since I was embarrassingly ignorant of all films on the syllabus, I figured I would attend a few of the night classes to satisfy curiosity.

028-032.p65 5915 4/12/04, 4:08 PM (5916) New Asia College / Yale University Student Exchange Program What made this trip especially meaningful were our hosts, who provided an unparalleled level of kindness and hospitality. From Dr. Man and his staff to the eight New Asia College students, who made it their prerogative to not let us go around hungry, we were in excellent hands throughout the two-week stay in Hong Kong. Before arriving at the university, I was expecting to live in a standard, modest dorm room that I would happily share with the two other Yale men. Instead, when I arrived at Chih Hsing Hall (which translates to “crazy” in English) on the first night, I found a stylish suite that would rival a deluxe room at the Mandarin Oriental: it featured a private balcony and bathroom, polished wood floors, and fully-stocked kitchen. The residence hall sat atop a large hill that overlooked Tolo Harbor, and at times I felt like I was living in a mansion rather than an actual college. When our welcome dinner culminated with a traditional Chinese dragon dance, I realized how much of an honor it was to be a part of the YUNA exchange. Mark Sheldon of the Hong Kong office of Yale-China was a highly knowledgeable host who took a genuine interest in participating in exchange activities, and his invitation for us to visit again anytime - and to feel like we had a “home away from home” in Hong Kong - demonstrated a sincere desire to stay in touch, regardless of what our future plans turn out to be. While studying China in the classroom can offer its After experiencing the dramatic urban pace of Hong rewards, what can compare with seeing white dolphins swim Kong, returning to Yale to finish off my junior year has in the Pearl River Delta, having a chance encounter with almost seemed anticlimactic.

From seeing such things as the limousine of Chief Executive Tung Chee-Hwa to the white-gloved elevator ladies at Sogo Department Store, I derived an informal education in modern Hong Kong society. Local knowledge went a long way, too: when I asked the dean of New Asia College - an architecture specialist - what his favorite building in Hong Kong was, he told me it was the HSBC financial building in Central. Its courtyard was inviting and possessed a spirit of democratic openness, he said, unlike the rigid, fortress-like foundation of the Bank of China tower.
