Finally, we have decided to stick to draft III and have a leisure tour which allows us to spend quality time in each destination - Barcelona and Paris.

Taipei/ Hong Kong (Return)

Flight of TPE/HKG is confirmed. Once I arrived Hong Kong, I will check-in my lugguage and get my boarding pass from airport express (one day advance check in). Then the next morning, I can reach airport only at 6:45am.

Barcelona/ Bilbao (Return)

Confirmed by Ming

Barcelona/ Paris (One-way)

Confirmed by Ming

The next step is to 1) book hotel for Barcelona and Paris; 2) Sign up for Campus Visit on 9/6; 3) make a list of things to bring (e.g. Electronic Spoon; Vitamins & basic medicine; Instand Noodles)
