haha, the first, how did you know? From the area/go school there?
Just got back from studying in Hong Kong.
School ended, I went backpacking for three weeks in SE Asia, in addition to a bunch of long-weekend trips during school.
Nothing particularly dangerous (Neither Hanoi nor Jakarta were that dangerous for a tallish/biggish western-looking male), but there were definitely some fun/weird experiences.
Would definitely second the above opinion to travel. By yourself if necessary. It’s totally worth it.

Hey man, what are the living expenses like in HK? I’m thinking of going there for a few months next year just to chill and maybe start learning Cantonese. Does everyone speak English? A very close friend and ex-housemate of mine is from HK, but obviously his perspective is different because he didn’t come there as a foreigner.
