Category: Drexel in Philadelphia: Inbound Exchange
Last Goodbyes
As I find myself at the end of this exchange semester, it’s impossible not to reflect on the journey that led me to Philadelphia, which was never really on my mind until earlier in April this year. Comparing the version of myself pre-Philly to the one now brings a myriad of differences, yet the same ...
Final few weeks down
Coming back from the road trip was a whirlwind of deadlines, tests, and the finals approaching. Despite this, I was not going to get that completely in my way for my final month at Drexel. A lot still happened, from basketball games to concerts and visiting new food spots in town, just spending quality time ...
The Road Trip: Part 1
To make our exchange experience a lot more authentically American, 6 of my friends and I decided to go on a 5-day long road trip. In Hong Kong, there’s no such thing as a road trip really. It’s so tiny that you can get to the other side of the city in less than 2 ...
The Road Trip: Part 2
Moving on with the rest of the road trip, the next part was to drive around Lake Erie towards Cleveland. Leaving the hustle of Toronto behind, we cruised towards Long Point, Lake Erie. On our way there we drove past a very small town that really felt like a scene out of Radiator Springs from ...

Uptown Beer Garden welcomed me with open arms, its holiday-themed decor setting ...
A Day of Surprises at the Philadelphia Art Museum: Sylvester Stallone and Korean Art Unveiled
Embarking on my long-awaited visit to the Philadelphia Art Museum, my excitement was twofold. Not only was it the first Sunday of the month—affording me the privilege of a “pay what you want” admission of just $1—but it also coincided with a special exhibit I had eagerly anticipated: “The Shape of Time: Korean Art After ...
Le Grand Final
Hi everyone and here we go again. While it’s getting colder and darker outside, we are smoothly entering our final week of study here at Drexel and slowly getting ready for crazy finals and the holiday seasons. Besides, this is my last blog about the exchange and, as it should be, I want to sum ...
Return to the Big Apple
Part of a small reason why I chose Philadelphia as the destination for my study abroad, was because of its proximity to other major cities on the east coast like New York City and Washington D.C.. NYC being just an hour and 30 minutes train ride away from Philly makes it so convenient to keep ...
Food, sports and everything else
Hi there! It has been a week of relax and chill not only at Drexel but in the whole country; a week, when all students are planning not to procrastinate all the time and get prepared for finals; and a week, when these plans don’t come true that often… But I’m done with turkeys and ...
