As I stepped foot off my flight onto the island that is Hong Kong I took it all in. Looking out I could see a city/ country that wasn’t quite a concrete jungle, rather a juxtaposed image of modernity meets nature. Hong Kong is the perfect blend of east meets west. A mix of cultures…

My experiences getting to Denmark, Aarhus and my first day there. It was far easier to apply and be accepted for exchange than anything else to come.

I had known this cold before but the wind was bitter. My roomate revealed to me, that the repressing cold only made the locals want to go…
