6. Testimonial
Overall Hongkong was one of the best times of my life. The city is vibrant, people are nice and university was chill. Try to travel as much as possible, go hiking as much as you can, and explore as much as you can of the city. Because before you will know it, time is over and you realize it might have been the best decision of you life.
