SEVEN DAYS IN THE FAR EAST






<>


Well hello there,


it`s been a while, hasn`t it. After months of exams, dissertation and semi-ridiculous attempts to get a decent bachelor`s degree, I`ve finally managed to keep my word by writing up a little something about my time in the Far East. Hong Kong had been on my bucket list for quite some time, so the excitement was - correspondingly - super real when I finally boarded that plane that carried me for eleven dead-boring hours to the other side of the globe. Despite my desperate efforts to get some rest, I didn`t sleep for a single minute, quite in contrast to my mother who missed departure, landing and everything in between. Staying awake paid off though; the first glimpse I caught of the former British colony was a city bathed in golden evening light as the sun was about to set below its horizon. Mesmerised by the picturesque spectacle, I could not but wonder what kinds of adventures were waiting for me over the course of the following seven days.
