My Exchange Life at CityU
Going abroad is an
exciting time and most likely even the best time at all of my undergraduate
studies, especially here in Hong Kong at City University where there are just
so many things to do!
So what exactly is
making my stay at CityU and in Hong Kong so exciting?
Hong Kong was my first
choice as destination for my exchange semester, as I never have been here
before and Hong Kong is basically a city that offers you everything: mountains,
beaches, skyscrapers, temples… And so far I definitely haven’t been
disappointed. I really like the great mix of nature and city, despite being in
a very large and busy city, it is just so easy to escape the noise of it within
an hour and to explore the nature.
What I love most about Hong Kong is just the
wide choice of activities you have, basically every day can be different. I
personally love going swimming, so I truly enjoyed a trip with other exchange
students to Cheung Chau to spend some time at the beach. Going by ferry was
pretty much fun as well and we also enjoyed a great lunch direct at the harbor
front. After spending some time swimming and laying in the sun, all of us
decided to walk up the hill to get a breathtaking view of the sunset. Back at
Hong Kong Island we took the Star Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui and spent some time
looking at the beautiful skyline of Hong Kong. It was just a perfect day!
