CAPTURE THE MOMENTS
Whenever I find myself in a new environment or city, I always want to know my surroundings through the people I interact with or the places I explore. In this case, Hong Kong had plenty to offer as I found myself surrounded by new faces and a whole new atmosphere I haven't experienced before. Every passing hour and day I found myself learning more about Hong Kong and the people that live here.
One of the first interactions I had at CityU was with the College of Business Exchange Student Club. Before you even arrive in Hong Kong, they are constantly giving updates on exploration events and orientation details. It was through them that I was able to get a tour of CityU as well as getting to know my fellow exchange students. Through this I was able to explore my university as well as meet some new friends that will last a life time. Another set of interactions I had was between the various people in my dorm. This is my first time living in a dorm and I can honestly say that it has been a great experience so far. One of my main reasons I came to Hong Kong was to practice and improve my Cantonese. Within my dorm, I have met so many locals to be able to help me practice Cantonese. It was refreshing to be able to have a decent conversation with people other than my relatives in another language. With new friends and home, I have come to realize that Hong Kong is truly the perfect choice for me to study abroad. There is so much to explore and learn within this small yet populated city and I have only scratched the surface. For now, I have fully mastered the art of navigating the subway as well as engaging myself in conversations with Cantonese as much as I can communicate. I can honestly say that Hong Kong will forever have a special place in my heart as I can now call it home for these next few months.
