IB Geography:  Visit to Tai Hom Village, Kowloon, February 20, 2001. 
The Year 12 Geography class visited Tai Hom Village, one of the few remaining 
"shanty villages" of Hong Kong, on the last day of occupation.  The purpose of the visit
was to allow the students a first hand view of the conditions found in  "shanty villages" as
well to witness the eviction of the remaining residents.
