ISTM in Hong Kong

Even if Hong Kong is an amazing city, you may, as many people here, experience homesick...

First, I would like to thank Derek, our Intercultural Management teacher, for giving us this marvellous link before our departures :

This reading has been very helpful for me...but also for the other exchange students I met here :)
It is about culture shock and what you experience when you are abroad.

So when you are in the Valley of Despair, take it easy ! Be nice with yourself ! Everybody can have homesick, even an overseas Chinese girl in Hong Kong ! And feel free to write to your friends who are still in your homecountry, to ask for postcards and other good things !

Merci beaucoup beaucoup Caro :) !
Thank you for the beautiful pictures of my missing France !

And even if dairy products are so expensive here (a Camembert costs around 70-80 HK$ or 7-8 euros !!!), enjoy a dinner of bread, French cheese and wine with the other exchange students !
