Four Days in Hong Kong

My first time Hong Kong trip was started on 6th Aug 2015. I and my little friend, Poe joined the 6th congress of Asia Physiotherapy Student Association (APTSA) as the representatives of country Myanmar among eight countries of Asia. Sixth APTSA congress was hosted by Hong Kong Physiotherapy Concern (HKPC) and held at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University on 8th and 9th August.

I had an amazing moments even it was only four days trips in Hong Kong. Especially, we had a blast during HK city tour on 7th August and took hundreds of photos at some of the iconic places of HK like the Peak tower which is near the summit of Victoria peak on Hong Kong Island and located at an elevation of 396 m and The Repulse Bay which is in the southern part of Hong Kong Island where we enjoyed beautiful scenarios at the bridge of Kwun Yam Shrine. Then we spent the fabulous evening at Stanley market, located on a peninsula on Hong Kong Island.

During the two days of the congress, all the delegates attended the busy schedules. Congress welcoming speech by Prof. Macro Pang was amazing and also talk on ‘an integrated approach to athlete care-role of the sports physiotherapist’ by Prof. Ella Yeung and Dr. Simon Yeung were so informative. Moreover, each country presented presentations for the topic of role of sports physiotherapy and palliative care. This was something amazing to learn such an important issues from different background and cultures. I really enjoyed the Tai Chi workshop conducted by Dr. William Tsang and also had a great experience in many case studies and other workshops for sport related soft tissue injuries.

We did work hard and we enjoyed the cultural night party harder at the end of the first day of the congress.

I pleasantly remember the time of we walking together back and fro between poly U student hall and Poly U under the 37 degree Celsius of sunrays, the last night of staying in the messy room of Hong Kong Polytechnic University student’s hall of residence where we took the funny pictures together and the time of MC announced ‘please take a seat and next session will start shortly’ when every time I think to go wash room :P

Four days in Hong Kong means a lot and also meant to come back again to HK to visit and explore more, next time should be vacation :)
