Well here I am at the end of my exchange experience sitting in the airport. Its such a bittersweet feeling. The past weeks have just been finals, and spending as much time as I could with my friends who I may never see again. Overall, I did well in my courses, which proves I can keep up with the Chinese haha. I do wish i had done a bit more traveling while here, but I feel like I made the most of my time in Hong Kong. I really feel a part of this city, and I've grown so attached to it. Returning home will be a bigger shock than coming here I think. There won't be anymore MTR rides, or catching mini-buses, and conversations always going on around me that I don't understand. And that view from the atrium at UST was still breathtaking till the last day. Pictures can never convey the beauty of that view and the campus.
I feel like I've experienced more in these 4 months than I have in my entire lifetime. It went by in the blink of an eye. I have never felt more grateful to be able to do this, and I have no regrets about this experience.
I will greatly miss the friends I have made here. They are the most unique people I've ever met, and if I never get the chance to see them again, I will always remember them. They are lifelong.

Although I am going back to the US, I feel that there is a part of me that is staying in Hong Kong. Something tells me I will return someday, I don't know when.
Well, this is pretty much the conclusion of this blog. So thanks for reading, and i hope it was useful to anyone looking for a similar experience. If you have any questions about Hong Kong or UST, feel free to contact me.
