Have you always been drawn to baking but never gave it a try? Or maybe you prefer to unleash your inner Piccasso? Whether you want to step outside your comfort zone and do something entirely new or rekindle an interest in your hobbies, lifelong learning is the way to go. As it’s never too late to learn, this article from our friends at Pacific Prime Hong Kong offers an overview of your options in the SAR.
