CAPTURE THE MOMENTS
It's hard to believe that it is already halfway through this study abroad journey as I feel like there is so much still left to do with my time here. I've come to find out that I've been counting the memories I have made rather than the time I've spent abroad. To me, Hong Kong doesn't feel like a distant place I once dreamed of living in anymore but a place I can always come back to and feel at home.
Hong Kong in some aspects are similar to Hawaii yet still so different at the same time. The most obvious difference being the constant moving city life versus the island lifestyle I'm grew up living in. At times, I miss my friends, family, and life in Hawaii, but at the same time I really enjoy the city of Hong Kong and the memories I've made with the people here as well. It is moments like these that make me really think how similar two places can be. I've noticed that both Hong Kong and Hawaii are both melting pots of people and culture. I only noticed this fact after being able to try so many different cultural foods in just this one city. People from all over the world come to work and live in Hong Kong whether it be in big business companies or small local stores. It is because of this similarity that makes me miss home but also inspires me to enjoy the rest of my time here in Hong Kong. This midway point also means midterm week for me as I had two midterms this past week. The exams were fairly easy and my professors gave ample time for students to study and prepare ahead of time. Midterms were quite interesting by the fact I realized a couple of things about CityU courses by this time.
This past week was filled with a lot of thoughts about my time while studying abroad as well as exam material. Next week I hope to provide you with a list of reviews on some of my favorite places to eat while living in Hong Kong!
