Visitor from Hong Kong

Dr Carol Kit Sum To has spent the week in Bathurst at Charles Sturt University. Carol and I worked together at the University of Hong Kong last year. Since then we have been working on journal articles, a book chapter, conference presentation, and a grant. This week she spoke with my research students about professional practice in Hong Kong and we submitted a journal article about children's acquisition of Hong Kong Cantonese. While she has been here it has been interesting comparing Bathurst with Hong Kong -- we have very few cars and people and a lot of grass and open space compared with HK.
