What do dim sums, 7/11 and cliff jumping all have in common? They are all things and activities you will come across here on your student exchange in Hong Kong. Allow me to demystify what a Student Exchange in Hong Kong is like. First, dim sums. There is a plethora of food choices here in Hong…

Often, when people think of Hong Kong, all they think of is the endless amount of tall buildings, busy roads, and of course, cheap food and transportation.

So listen, I’m going to be honest. I love exchange, Hong Kong is the greatest, I’ve met so many nice people from all over the world and I’ve been part of their growing stories just as they’ve been part of mine. I’ve learnt so many things that I never knew, I’ve had my eyes opened…
