While many whip out their calculators annually to pay their taxes - students here we take out books, pencils, rulers and camp out and study away. Ever since coming to Hong Kong and seeing what it is like to be living in a cramped apartment and having limited space, I understand the reasons why the locals all go out to study.
The library system in Hong Kong is fairly interesting; the fact there is are specified study rooms is great. It varies from library to library, some with nice desks with lots of space, others three glass walls and a 19 inch desk. More of a cramped style... What I recently found out, during public examinations whether it be the HKCEEs, IGCSEs or in my case IB, that you have to sign up and then if you're lucky then you are allowed to study from April to May or from May to June. If you're rather unfortunate then you're in a dilemma. Meaning that you would have to go out and pay for a cup of coffee to study.
The problem arises for others where one is trying to enjoy their cup of overpriced coffee and don't have seats. It's that season again and where I go study is to be determined. Perhaps just staying in the comfort of my own home or at school.
