Exchange Report University of Amsterdam College of Economics and Business Fall 2017 Exchange Report University of Amsterdam College of Economics and Business Julia Chan RMBI, Year 4 Fall 2017 Contents Part I – Monthly Activity Log ........................................................................................................ 2 Part II – General Exchange Information ....................................................................................... 9 Part III – Items to Bring ............................................................................................................... 11 Part IV – Useful Links and Contact ............................................................................................. 11 Part I – Monthly Activity Log August I arrived Schiphol airport, Amsterdam on 25th August morning and missed the pick-up services provided by University of Amsterdam on 21st and 23rd. As a result, I have to pick up my dorm key at DUWO office, the company running students dormitory in the Netherland and complete all administrative procedure by myself. I spent my first few days in Amsterdam in shopping household products and familiarizing myself with this city. The DUWO has provided the furniture, cooking utensils, bedding set and cleaning set, therefore, I had a lot of shopping to do. I stayed in a studio in a new developed residential area, there are no supermarkets or restaurants around. Therefore, I did all my shopping in the heart of Amsterdam, Amsterdam Central, where I can basically get all the stuff I needed. Amsterdam Central is the heart of the city. There you can see a lot canal cruises, tourist attractions, museums, the famous red light district and China town. Fig: Amsterdam Central Station In Amsterdam, canals are everywhere, it makes route familiarization even more difficult as there are no distinctive features for each street, and they are all surrounded by canals. Fig: Another canal in Amsterdam September September was a busy month, not only was it the start of semester, it also packed with administrative procedures, e.g. residence permit (MMV) collection, residence registration (BSN number) and bank account opening. These procedures took me around a month to complete. Therefore, I spent my September in Amsterdam and went to different museums. As I was staying in Netherlands for more than 3 months, I was eligible for applying museum card with unlimited entries to more than 50 museums. Amongst all museums, Rijksmuseum has the widest collection and it takes me 2 days to finish my tour. Fig: Rijksmuseum and its collections October October was quite relaxed comparing to September. The weather was perfect, breezy and sunny most of the time. I spent decent amount of time in the Vondelpark, largest city park in Amsterdam and tried some local cuisine by home cook. Fig: Vondelpark As Halloween was approaching, there was a carnival in the Dam Square for the entire October. My exchange buddy and I took a swing ride at vertical distance 60m, which was a lot higher than most building in Amsterdam. The view was simply stunning and completely different from the ground. Fig: Carnival in the Dam Square After my final exams for block 1, I went to Newcastle in U.K to visit my friend and the Angel of the North, one of my favorite sculptures in the world. The sculpture is located at a mountain top and it looks like embracing the city beneath, which is why it is called the Angel. I also enjoyed a lot of Hong Kong food, like egg tart and satay beef noodles in Newcastle. Fig: The Angel of the North Fig: Hong Kong Street Food at Sunday Market November November was a low season for travelling. Therefore, I went to Germany and Belgium with my friends. I went to Berlin in Germany and Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp in Belgium. The trip was not as enjoyable as expected. First of all, there are a lot of scammers and pocket- pickers at Berlin and Brussels. We carried few cashes and was extra cautious when traveling to these places. In addition, November in Western Europe was foggy and cold. We did not have a good view of the city. However, despite all these negative experience, we still love these countries because of great food, magnificent architectures and flourishing arts. Fig: East Side Gallery and Brandenburg Gate in Germany Fig: Berlin Cathedral December December was a stressful month, just like HKUST. I had tons of lecture notes to swallow and essays to submit. Luckily, I had made time to visit the Christmas Market, light festival, Icebar at Amsterdam and tried local festive foods. Fig: Light Festival Fig. Icebar in Amsterdam January I spent my entire January travelling around Europe with my friends, as I did not take any course in block 3. I travelled to Paris in France, Tampere and Helsinki in Finland, Iceland and last station Hallstatt and Vienna in Austria before I returned to Hong Kong on 28th January. Every destination is eye-opening. In Paris, a city with vibrant lifestyle, I enjoyed a lot of delicious dessert and Asian cuisines that I missed a lot. In Tampere, local people and pedestrians are so friendly that they greeted us when I got off the train. In Helsinki, I learnt a lot of history between Finland and Sweden in Suomenlinna and of course took a sip the famous fish soup in the Old Market. In Iceland, my friend and I joined a 2-days local tour to the South coast of Iceland. The natural sceneries is spectacular and unforgettable. It is so far the most stunning views I have seen and totally worth the time and money to go there. Fig: Eiffel Tower Figs: Iceland Part II – General Exchange Information Visa Procedures After UvA has accepted and confirmed the nomination, they will send you a link to fill in all important information to apply visa and residence permit. After they receive all information, if you are holding HKSAR passport, you will have to send them an authorization letter and application form (will be provided) for the residence permit and long-stay visa. In a month time, they will send you a link to make appointment for the Consulate of the Netherlands in Wai Chai, Hong Kong to submit passport for the visa. Your passport will be returned around 2 weeks. After your arrival in Amsterdam, you will need to get your residence permit (also act as Schengen visa) in UvA. UvA will send you emails to remind you to pick up the residence permit in designated time, usually within the first month of arrival. The residence permit is a very important identity document, you will be asked to show the permit when you travel around Europe. Orientation Activities The ISN Orientation activities started on the 25th August to 30th August. I did not join the activity as I arrived on the 28th. The compulsory orientation started on 1st September. The vice president of university walked through the detailed grading scheme and introduced relevant parties for different issues.

Finance & Banking (including currency / expenses) The Netherlands use Euro and it is a cashless country, locals usually pay with debit card. Social Clubs & Networking Opportunities There are few networking opportunities if you don’t drink. Health & Safety Amsterdam is a very safe city; however, there are still some pocket-pickers at tourist attractions. The emergency number is 112. Food Amsterdamer loves mashed potato, meat balls and pancakes. There are also good Chinese restaurants for yum cha and Chinese market for selling Chinese food. Transportation Transportation is very convenient in Amsterdam. People either travel with bikes or trams. Climate It is cool and sunny in autumn but super rainy, windy and cold in winter.

Public spaces that include food are most appealing and attract people to urban landscape. Reflecting the intangible cultural heritage of a destination, consuming local food is an authentic experience for tourists, providing a link between food, place and tourism (Privitera and Nesci 2015). Researchers have found that satisfying food tourism experiences can boost tourists’ overall perception of a destination (Smith and Xiao 2008). As a result, local food has regularly been used by governments to promote their cities. Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) believes that the diversity of the city’s international cuisines has become a major competitive advantage (Enright and Newton 2005). The gastronomic image of Hong Kong is enhanced by food festivals, competition such as the Best of the Best Culinary Awards, and trade shows.

First and foremost I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Katelijn Quartier for her honest advise and feed- back throughout the research project. Secondly I would like to thank Philippe Swartenbroux, for the nu- merous tutorials, clever suggestions and motivating inspirations. Many thanks for letting me see that the solution was often right in front of me. Furthermore I would like to thank everyone who made it possible for me to go to Hong Kong in the first place, as well as my friends who showed me the city and the outlying island, as if I were a local. Also many thanks to those who helped me make my trip abroad a whole new experience. And last but not least I want to thank particularly my boyfriend Domien, for the love and patience during the project, as well as my friends and family for their encouragements and support when I needed it the most.

    Chan 1 Vivian Chan (SID:1771910) Senior Project Project Title: Eat on the Streets @HK Research Question: How can the itinerant hawkers and street foods be explored and pass down? (Abstract) Eat on the Streets @HK, Vivian Hiu Tung Chan: The itinerant hawkers and street food in Hong Kong (HK) are disappearing in just a few generations, HK’s mobile hawkers and street food are such an important characteristic of HK, but they keep losing value! Therefore, my project would like to investigate this issue and see how the street food culture can be explored and passed down. There are three deliverables in my project. First, I have created an academic written report which includes literature review, the findings from my survey and interviews, and my analysis. Second, I have developed a pop- up scrapbook which includes two parts. The first part introduces the unique traditional street food in Hong Kong’s mobile food trucks. Based on the survey I sent to residents who lived in HK in the 1920s – 1980s, I realized that Hongkongers are in love with the mobile food trucks and street food. They strongly hope both will pass on to future generations. The second part of my scrapbook includes traditional street food recipes. These recipes not only provide a comprehensive description of traditional street food, but also provides an opportunity to pass down the recipes by themselves. Additionally, there is a pattern book which includes paper patterns of street food which can cut out and folded into 3D shapes. Let anyone who is interested in 3D form of street food can make it themselves.
