MENSACCINO+

The "+" stands for games on top of well........you get the picture. It was my first time meeting up with some members of the local mensa here in Hong Kong since I joined in early April and it was quite a warm gathering. The atmosphere was relaxed and informal. If this 1st meeting is anything to go by, it seems the chapter here in Hong Kong is represented by a wide spectrum of age groups as well as nationalities consistent with the international status of Hong Kong.

But the thing that really surprised me most is that all of the functions including today's and the day to day administrative duties are organized and carried out by the members themselves voluntarily, which is how the costs are kept low. I find this special.
