The Central Park Outing in July was a success, attracting alumni to travel hundreds of miles to New York City. Our activities for the
day included biking, museum visit and dinner. The biking activity consisted of participants of all ages (ranging from students in their
20’s to retirees in their 60’s). We all enjoyed cycling in the beautiful park on this sunny day.
Another group visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, checking out Dan
Graham’s exhibition on the Roof Garden and the breath-taking view of
Manhattan, photography by Garry Winogrand that showed everyday people from
different walks of life, and the Hindu-Buddhist sculptures of early Southeast Asia
from 5
th
to 8
th
Century.
Dinner was held at the French restaurant “La Bonne Soupe”, which included a
four-course dinner comparable to that in Paris! Our participating alumni came
from as far as Boston and Philadelphia and spanned several generations, as
shown in photo A, starting from the back row from left to right, we have Henry
Yeung (1964), Elizabeth Wong (1977), Merlin Tong (1995), Jason Leung (2009),
Margaret So (1987), Michelle Ko (2011) and Kwan Hok Wai (1955).
What more could we ask for after a satisfying
meal? A view of a semi-annual display of the sun
rising and setting directly down the middle of
Manhattan’s city blocks, in a phenomenon known as
“Manhattanhenge”.
