Trends in Hong Kong

I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester for a study abroad program. Everyone says it's super international, but I'm curious – how much of that is just marketing? I mean, are the st… more
It's pretty international, yeah. Hong Kong itself is a crazy mix of cultures, so the uni reflects that to a degree. You'll definitely find students from all over, though the exact mix varies by program. Don't expect everyone to be from a different country, but you'll be surrounded by more than just locals. Making friends from different backgrounds shouldn't be a problem; people are generally pretty open there. Just be prepared to navigate some language barriers sometimes – even between students. It's a vibrant place, so embrace the chaos! You'll be fine.

Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails?

Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
