While in Hong Kong attending the Education Conference we stayed at the University of Hong Kong.
We stayed at Robert Black College. The rooms were nice and clean, equipped with everything that one needs for a few days long stay. The breakfast was also not bad (choice of English, Chinese or waffles + a small buffet).
Another quite inconvenient thing about University of Hong Kong was that there were practically no restaurants or shops. The only convenience shop on campus closed at 7pm on Friday and reopened at 10am on Monday! The food in the only cafeteria that we managed to find was really horrible and ordering it was very complicated. Well ... good we didn't have to eat there often.
Just two weeks before our visit to Hong Kong the so called Umbrella Revolution started.
We could still see the barricades and groups of protesters on the streets and well as posters and equipment used by students during the protests.
Here are some photos Zosia took at the Mong Kok barricades:
