Insights in Hong Kong

College is a time to try things out of ones own comfort zone as well as find what will determine a new comfort zone. For me this meant coming to Hong Kong to study at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in order to see and experience new things. This not only means that I will encounter chicken feet and shark fins but also new ways of thinking and interacting with others.
The very idea of a friendship and love is interpreted in different ways here and I wish to interact with those around me with as few barriers as possible. During a lecture here at CUHK a professor encouraged his listeners to "take off their raincoat" when getting in the shower. What he meant was that without letting down one's own personal guard and interacting with the surrounding culture unimpeded there would be something lost. I intend to just that; so come along for the ride and experience Hong Kong with me.
