\u201cDr Lawrence Ng (Larry) is a very passionate mentor who was taking good care of me during my stay at Berkeley. He is more than willing to share his personal experience and insights, and is interested in learning more about the thoughts of young people. The eagerness towards mutual learning between Larry and me breaks any intangible gaps and fosters our friendship experience.<\/p>\n

Through Larry, I am able to have a better understanding of American culture, especially the living environment in the Bay Area, California. One thing I learnt from sightseeing with Larry to Silicon Valley in Palo Alto and Stanford University campus is that a part of the vibrant US culture is how it values innovation and technological advancement. The personal touch through conversation with Larry is also thought-provoking. The experience with Larry, overall, helps me to immerse myself into the US culture.\u201d William Kwok<\/p>\n
