A Reflection on A Study Abroad: Barcelona
I have a fuzzy recollection of how I felt the first time I stepped out in Barcelona. First, non-jam-packed seeing as I had just come from the highly dense country of Hong Kong and was still reeling from the effects. Second, keen because I’d done little research about the city but I’d heard good stories ...

Milan: Philly?

Relaxation and Monkeys

The garden and the nunnery weren’t very different from the Big Buddha that we visited a couple of days before, but ...
Reflection of My Halfway Mark
I have been in Hong Kong for two months now and it has been a very and uplifting experience so far. The experience on its own is very unique and what I have learned about myself, the students at UST, the people around Hong Kong, and myself, has changed my own perspective on life. Through ...
