On Saturday I head back to Hong Kong to intern for the three-month summer vacation with the hedge fund where I worked in January and February. It is a good chunk of time and Im looking forward to making some real progress on several major projects before I come back to Beijing. It will be interesting too to get to know the city a bit better I did a reasonable amount of exploring in the cool winter weather, but there is a lot yet to see, particularly in the New Territories. To that end Im going to ship my bike with me to HK and do some touring the best way to see a place by far in my view, though the ridiculously steep hills of HK may challenge that hypothesis.

As for my classmates, many of them are interning  in Beijing one organising a venture capital project weekend with Red Pagoda Resources, another with Thomson Reuters looking at M&A targets in the mainland, another with Sinopec one of the large state oil companies and yet more with consultancies, investment banks and securities firms (both international and domestic).

Other friends are focusing on their Chinese study, and some are simply enjoying the opportunity to travel and see friends and family. Not all will return in the fall; many classmates are off on exchanges to other business schools all over the world, some for one semester, others for the whole second year.

Best of luck to everyone whatever your plans for the summer and next year!
