What a journey it’s been! After two years of intensive study, I’ve officially completed my MPhil at HKUST.

I’m really glad to finally have been able to show family around this amazing city that’s been my home now for the past six years. We spent days exploring everything from the bustling streets of Central to the serene Lamma Island. Watching them experience Hong Kong through fresh eyes reminded me of my own first impressions; the energy, the views, and of course, the food. We ate our way through the trip and indulged in everything from street food to sea food. Each meal was a reminder of why Hong Kong captured my heart so completely.

As I prepare for the next chapter of my academic journey, I’m carrying with me not just the research skills and knowledge I’ve gained, but also a deep appreciation for this remarkable place that challenges and inspires me, both intellectually and literally. Here’s to new beginnings and the memories that make them possible!
