Students Travel to Mainland China and Compete in Hong Kong | 15 - 30 July 2009

Hung Tao Choy Mei Leadership Institute students jetted off to Hong Kong for a quick overnight rest and then on through China's immigration point to the area around Nan Hai in southern Mainland China. Dozens of Jow Ga schools attended a Happy Jow Ga Family night celebration from Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and of course, the United States, as well as from other surrounding areas. Hung Tao Choy Mei students wowed the mainland audience with a traditional lion dance routine. Despite rain and blowing wind from the tendrils of a major typhoon in Hong Kong, our Chinese hosts outdid themselves in serving hundreds of students, teachers and friends of Jow Ga from all over the world. When it rained on the performance floor, our hosts brought out a rug to keep everyone from slipping. When we ate all their food, they showed up with more. In Hong Kong, Hung Tao Choy Mei students competed in an international Kung Fu tournament. And when not sleeping, they were always on the go, walking the streets of Hong Kong and visiting Jow Ga schools. Many thanks to our Hong Kong friends, to friends and parents of Hung Tao Choy Mei students for helping make this trip to the other side of the world a success.
