As one of the first Australian students to study overseas post-COVID it was a unique experience, but one I wouldn\u2019t change for the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In late 2021, I was named the 2022 New Colombo Plan Fellow for Hong Kong. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/students\/opportunities\/exchange\/program-funding-and-costs\/exchange-scholarships\">New Colombo Plan Scholarship<\/a> provides up to $69,000 in funding for undergraduate students from all disciplines to study in the Indo-Pacific.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3-500x666.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3-500x666.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After working through some significant challenges traveling post-COVID (including border restrictions and hotel quarantine) I arrived in Hong Kong and hit the ground running. I lived in City University\u2019s student residence with my Finnish roommate and our bathroom-mates (or \u201cbroomies\u201d) from Morocco and the Seychelles. We became fast friends and went on many outings together, including trying traditional Hong Kong-style breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NPC1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39037\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NPC1.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NPC1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NPC1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NPC1-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NPC1-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NPC1-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The student residence was a five-minute walk to campus, and living there was an excellent opportunity to make friends. The Student Residence Office organised subsidised events including my personal favourite\u2014a day trip to see pink dolphins in Tai O. If you are interested in studying at City U I highly recommend reaching out to the wonderful team at the Global Engagement Office: geoins@cityu.edu.hk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I studied Mandarin, Hong Kong history and culture, linguistics and the Hong Kong legal system. I took part in an English-mentoring initiative which encourages English-speaking exchange students to gather weekly with local students for informal English practice. I also took a short Cantonese course run by the University.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39038\" width=\"514\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture6.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture6-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 514px) 100vw, 514px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In my spare time I visited some of the many islands surrounding Hong Kong.
