Realizing You Have Three Months Left

5/20/2016

0 Comments

 
It has been hectic figuring out my final months here.  I have a lot of mixed feelings about leaving Hong Kong.  I really love Hong Kong and my life here but am missing my family, friends, and Chipotle at home.  It's been quite a year with it's ups and downs but I'm finding more and more resistant to leaving (but obviously I am leaving).

It has dawned on me that I am returning to school and will become a students again.  That scares me a lot. I feel like this year has been the longest and shortest year of my life and it just feels like ages since I took an exam or actually studied.  However, I am extremely excited to go back, study psychology, and earn my Masters.

Weekend Getaway: Shanghai, China

5/3/2016

0 Comments

 
This past weekend was a long weekend because of the public holiday, Labor Day. So, I decided to take a weekend trip to Shanghai, China.  The previous weekend was my birthday so treated this mini trip as a birthday present to myself!  My friend, Susan, raves about Shanghai and I was compelled to go.  Shanghai is pretty similar to Hong Kong in the sense that it is a metropolitan city.  The skyline is painted with many different skyscrapers such as the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the Jin Mao Tower, and the Shanghai Tower.  I was lucky enough to have such clear, blue skies when I went to the Bund to check out the skyline.

The weather was just absolutely beautiful when I went so I spent majority of the weekend walking around as well.  Unfortunately, it was a busy weekend as well due to the long weekend.  I visited Old Town where the Yu Gardens are and it was completely packed.  While the Yu Gardens are beautiful, I found myself getting frustrated with the shoving and pushing of the tourists in the Gardens and in the shops surrounding the area.  However, my spirits were lifted when I left the area and headed to the French Concession.
