Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

I traveled a few miles here and there to the Tai Po Mega Mall, the Immigration Center and around campus.

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

I've traveled about 300 miles in total since my arrival, but all within Hong Kong. There is so much to do in such a small radius! The public transportation is incredible here and can get you anywhere in the region easily. It is over 8,800 miles from Florida to Hong Kong, so in total I have traveled over 9,000 miles!

How did I get around this week?:

Bus, Mass Transit Railway (MTR), mini-bus and my own two feet!

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

Tai Po Mega Mall! Getting to see some of the restaurants outside on the mall and the street was cool. I also enjoyed interacting with the local restaurants and cuisines (like getting sesame balls from a local vendor) and eating ramen was fun too.

Other Travel News from this week:

With how easy travel is here, I have loved getting around and making plans to visit the monasteries that are spread throughout Hong Kong.
