Shopping, Pizza, & Latte Breaks

How is it that Christmas music always puts you in a good mood? As I walked through a mall today in Hong Kong, I was greeted by Christmas decorations, Santa figurines, and Christmas music! I am sure glad that Hong Kong celebrates and recognizes Christmas, since it does not celebrate Thanksgiving. I sure have missed seeing funny Turkey decorations everywhere!

As another week in Hong Kong comes to a close and as another busy week begins, I am reminded that I now only have a month left in Hong Kong. I fly back to America on December 22nd, just in time for Christmas!

My week was busy with school work, projects, papers and presentations. This week I have another 4 presentations! I have learned more than I have ever expected about cross-cultural communication, as I am the only native English speaker in all of my groups. Although frustrating at times, it truly has been a great social learning experience.

Breaks this week from studying and school work included going shopping at local Hong Kong markets, going out to eat with exchange friends at a delicious pizza place called “Fat Angelos”, going to church, and finally enjoying a Holiday Toffee Nut Latte at Starbucks.

As always, “Making the Most of Every Opportunity” and Finishing Strong in Hong Kong!
