Occupational therapy student Ivan Chan from Hong Kong, volunteering at the AIESEC "Find Your Way" Summer Camp underway at Mykolas Romeris University (MRU), knew nothing about Vilnius and Lithuania before coming here last month.

He is making presentations on leadership and communication to participants at the educational camp organized for high school students at MRU. The Camp is in its final week and ends on July 31st, 2015.

Although he has traveled widely in Europe and Asia - from Japan to Singapore, from Korea to Thailand to Italy and Switzerland, he said he knew nothing about Lithuania before his visit.

"Eastern Europe is like a place of mystery to us," said the 20-year-old Hong Kong native, a student at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

He said that one day he would like to return to Lithuania.

"It's a good place to stay and travel and to spend a holiday," he said. "It's a lovely, relaxing place for a vacation. I simply love the atmosphere, the feeling," he said.

He praised MRU's green park, "the woods," and said this is something "I can not see in my university. At my University, it's just buildings.".

Hong Kong students sometimes go abroad to study, but mostly to the U.S., Canada, Australia. However, he said that most return to Hong Kong to live and work after graduation.

Chan himself said that he can not imagine living anywhere else than Hong Kong.

He was also surprised about what he said was the clean air in Vilnius, because "air pollution is a serious problem in Hong Kong."

Chan plans to visit other Baltic states - Latvia and Estonia, before traveling back to Hong Kong in August.

He said he already misses his family, Chinese food and hanging out with friends in the many shopping malls prevalent in Hong Kong.
