Hong Kong the magical place

the fact that we all had the abroad experience.... where everyone left their inhibitions behind and were who they really wanted to be in hk
that allowed for the deepest and most sincere connections between people who would otherwise never have interacted in their home environments

thank you ms. hk for those wise words

Guilin and Yangshuo

After a month of hard work on my masters thesis, i went for a short weekend trip to mainland china. Since i am located in Hong Kong, near the Guangdong Province, there are not that many sights around. The Pearl Delta became the biggest manufacturing area of the world during the last three decades and elevated China to the worlds second largest economy after the USA. I was accompanied by 12 other students during this amazing trip, i have to admit that it went pretty slow having 13 people in a group and decisions cannot be made quickly. nonetheless it was truly an incredible experience traveling trough a rural area in China. Compared to Hong Kong, Guilin and Yangshuo are very under developed. Most of the people do not speak english and some don't even speak mandarin that well :-) but somehow we made our way. The highlight of the trip was a five hours bicycler ride through the countryside passing rice farmers and water buffaloes. Enjoy the scenery!!
