For Media Law class, a few of us chose to work individually for our projects instead of in groups. The task was different if you wanted to work by yourself, and one option for us was to sit through a few public court cases then write a few articles on them. Decided to check out a
rape case with Honey, Michelle and John one day because it sounded quite interesting. Y'know, not like your usual boring finance and law stuff which would probably put me to sleep. It was my first time at
Hong Kong's High Court and I was actually quite excited despite the early morning start!
We went to both the morning and afternoon sessions, and in between the girls and I went to eat lunch at
Mano in Central, a café that Honey and I had both wanted to try for a while. I loved their pick-yourself salad bowl because I could choose whatever I wanted in whatever amount for a fixed price! Of course, it was a one time visit to the salad bar only, but I think I pretty much aced it with my copious amount of my favourite chicken breast. It was a huge struggle trying not to ignore the vegetables and just get a whole plate of chicken. ;)
The court room was freezing, so before we went back for the afternoon session I actually dropped by
Topshop and bought a $1000+ winter jacket. It was thick as hell with a fur lining and a hood, but with the scarily low temperatures of High Court, I decided to do my best to prevent myself from turning into ice. I felt so bad and the jacket was actually quite nice, but $1000 - with student discount - was really too much for a jacket in my opinion, so right after the court case wrapped up for the day I actually went back to Topshop to refund it. Haha, I'm so sorry, but you saved my life Topshop!
