Taking off from Hong Kong

Well, here we are, at the end of my journey in Hong Kong.

I've packed and here I am the heart full of love for this place which is unique in all aspects. Very stressing last day was my last saturday on campus at Lingnan and I had to give away a couple of things. Didnt want to leave overweight. It was a rush between having last minute lunches with friends, saying bye to some and others....



However, life in Hong Kong has been rich in experiences. Exposed to a new culture with different trends and different ways of seeing life and its stages, it was a long evolution to live not only in Hong Kong but at Lingnan.

You learn to live with other people (all the time, 24/7), you try to be the bigger person as you are not home, and you want to show your Hong Kong fellows you have respects for their traditions no matter how brutal the differences seem to you. One year in Hong Kong was great. It took me a long semester to adapt myself. I've come to realise that no matter how multicultural your background is, you always need time to ajust ti such a culture. Having lived many ups and downs, my second semester was about enjoying the differences I might not have standed in the first place.



There was a lot more interest and participation in the second semester. My first semester was more about looking, observing, maybe not living it enough.
However, I fell in love with Hong Kong and I do intend to go back.

Hong Kong, you've become another one of my homes...
