So, its 2:00pm right now and I’m sitting in my room with a bowl of half-finished oatmeal by my side listening to the typhoon rage outside my window. Not exactly the picture of exchange I had in mind. It’s been about a week into my time in Hong Kong, I thought I’d...

Looking back on first year, only positives come to my mind. Whether I have blocked out the bad memories of the stress of trying to get into law, late night assignments or homesickness or the fun of living within a few metres of all my friends in a new city as a...
Farewell Event
Our team was given a send-off and blessing by friends, family, university staff and coaches on Thursday night. This event was a fantastic way to celebrate the hard work of the team and to acknowledge the people who have helped us along the way. Seeing our team...
reasons why YOU need to come to open day
As an anxious student in my final year with a few options for the upcoming year, I found looking at images of facilities and brief description on course outlines not so convincing for my decision making. That's when open days come in handy. Personally, I was...
Tama Tu, Tama Ora; Team Fitness and Culture
We are less than 2 weeks out from the competition in Hawaii, and our team are preparing well. We managed to string together two 10km water trainings last Thursday, which was a bonus as the unpredictable weather has made it difficult for us to get out on the water....
Homeless in the most expensive city in the world

Leaving on a jetplane
**Hums leaving on a jetplane (slightly out of tune)** Hey guys, exciting news! I'm going to be heading to The University of Hong Kong for a semester exchange! Slightly misleading title though as I will be leaving on a normal plane and not a jet plane, but hey,...
Training and Studying: Finding the Balance
It seems like an eternity ago that we were getting taught the ropes on how to haul ourselves and our Waka around the safe little bay in Okahu - fast forward 5 months and we can now confidently say we know how to hold the paddle around the right way and even string...
3 weeks until Hawaii
Kia Ora, The countdown is on and our team is fighting ready for the Queen Lili’oukalani Canoe Race in Hawaii! Since we take off in just three weeks it’d be a good idea to introduce you to the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences Waka Ama team. It’s apt that we...
