Hong Kong Study Abroad 2012

I had the amazing opportunity of spending the spring 2012 semester as an exchange student in Hong Kong. Hong Kong opened up my life to so many possibilities. Compared to CSI, City University of Hong Kong was quite small but it’s the location that matters. Hong Kong is such a fascinating city with very intriguing people and places. It’s a big city much like a New York. It reminded me of being in Manhattan all the time. There’s an underground train, lots of lights, big skyscrapers, and tons of people. There are 7 million people living in that small city! Ninety five percent of the people are Chinese and speak Cantonese. Less than half of the people speak English. Part of the excitement of living there was just trying to communicate! ---Katrina Hannan '12
