As I only find motivation to blog when I’m bogged down with work, it comes as no surprise to myself that I am blogging now, after a few months’ absence!
The school year is coming to and end, along with my stay in Hong Kong and I must say, I am getting quite sentimental! My return to the United States has been long awaited, however, and I will be looking forward to the completion of my degree (which potentially won’t happen until December).
But that’s besides the point.
I’ve done and seen so many more things this year than I have in my entire life. I can now proudly say that I have blacked out on a beach in Thailand, jumped off of a skyscraper with only an elastic cable attached to my feet in Macau, rode a bicycle around Hong Kong Island, yada, yada, yada.
All of these are memories, good or bad, that I will take with me forever. My time spent in Hong Kong will be the best year of my life for quite some time to come.
Before I make my final trip from 6 Sassoon Road to HK International Airport, I am vowing to myself to make the best of the little time I have remaining here! Keep on the lookout for at least one other post in the upcoming month! I promise not to disappoint!
On to the pictures! Bear with me as this will possibly be the most random collection of pictures I will ever put up!
