November 5th, 2016 Hong Kong is such a unique place. One day you can be in the bustling city streets, another day up in the mountains going for a hike, or chilling out at one of the many beaches. This Saturday I took a trip to one of the outlying islands of Hong Kong named ...

October 31st, 2016 I’ve been looking forward to experiencing Halloween in Hong Kong. The whole weekend college kids have been heading out to parties and clubs dressed up in costumes.   I’ve been told from locals that Halloween is somewhat new to the HK Kong culture, but it’s so hard to tell because there was ...

October 23rd, 2016 I’ve been quite active in Hong Kong, and meeting tons of cool people. Every weekend I’m looking on different local websites and blogs about events/happenongs. I tend to usually end up in Central, specifically at PMQ which I mentioned in a previous post. It’s the same place I attended the fashion event some ...

September 11th, 2016 The Mass Transit Railway (MTR) is easily the greatest public transportation system I have yet to experience. It’s so simple and easy to get around. There is pretty much an MTR stop near every destination you would want to go to in Hong Kong, and if not there will be connecting busses ...

September 18th, 2016 Because some of the food I had to think twice about haha. But honestly, there’s a plethora of options to eat. Like really, there are restaurants of different cuisines all over. Hong Kong is a place where Western and Eastern cultures meet, so on the days when I feel a bit homesick ...

September 26th, 2016 *Not many pictures in this post At Drexel, I never really gave much thought to the international student community. But now that I’m actually an international student here at HKUST I’ve realized that there is so much adjusting that they go through. You have to cope to new living conditions, along with ...
