Hello there, Hong Kong!

Well, I am finally here in Hong Kong and I am SO happy!!

Yesterday was my first full day here. So far, the food is fabulous and I have met some awesome people. I have met so many of the exchange students from all over....Germany, Tiawan, Denmark, Finnland, Sweden, France, Japan, Scotland, and a few from the states. I love that their are so many exchange students here...we are all in the same boat....trying to figure out our new lives in Hong Kong and having the most incredible and adventerous experience. Totally wonderful.

Today I am planning to go to Macau with a few of the exchange students...I'm not sure if our sudent visa will allow such travels, so I will have to double check that this morning before we make the journey. Either way, tonight is the first exchange student party...cannot wait! All you can eat and drink..PERFECT!



:D

See ya later, Cleveland!

Well today is the day! My flight leaves at 6.40am today... (One-way flight, that is!) I will be flying Cleveland to Toronto to Hong Kong! I can't believe the day has finally come.


I feel like I should be nervous and more excited, but overall I feel pretty calm about leaving. I have everything packed and ready to go and I feel very prepared. I'm not sure how prepared you can feel about a trip like this, but I feel as though I have done all I can do to get ready.

I am so excited to meet my roommates, finalize my schedule, meet all the exchange students, and finally see Hong Kong!
