This week is the last week of classes, and a time to reflect on this past semester. Now that I think about it, I'm glad that I chose to study abroad. It has been one of the most life-changing experiences thus far. When I'm in New York, I fall into a constant pattern because I'm so comfortable with my surroundings. However, in HK (a very foreign place), I find myself growing up a bit more. I'm learning to take risks, being comfortable with getting lost everywhere I go, and being more open-minded about everything. In the past, I stayed in my comfort zone because that's where I wasn't shy. I find myself more outgoing now that I have to reach out to people if I didn't want to get lost.
On another note, since people don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, Christmas decorations are up earlier than what I'm used to. Christmas decorations are EVERYWHERE, especially in malls. They're all SOOOO pretty. Although I'm still wearing T-Shirts and Jeans (feels nothing like winter), the decorations are AMAZING. Very glamorous and Christmas-y, for lack of a better term. I recently went to Tsim Sha Tsui where they put up Christmas decorations near the harbor every year.
Here are some photos:
There's still so much of HK that I haven't explored, but hopefully I'll still be able to visit those places during finals week.
