"Look, the streets is about where you're from. It's not some school talent show. There's no spring floors. There's no spotlights to use what you got and... what makes you think you got it, huh?"
-Andie, from Step Up 2: The Streets
Welcome to my travel blog, in which I'll periodically write about my study abroad experience in Hong Kong, as well as my travels throughout Southeast Asia. I envision this blog including elements of serious journalism, mixed with witty one-liners, and a sprinkling of LiveJournal to keep you updated on my feelings.
You may be wondering what prompted me to write a blog. What makes me think, I got it?
- Studying abroad in Hong Kong ranks high on “The List of Alex Rosenberg’s Life Experiences,” so I imagine some of you might want to know what I’m up to while I’m away.
- Provided you do care about what’s going on with me, a blog is the most efficient way for me to keep you informed.
- If more than two weeks pass with no entries, it’s a safe bet that I’ve been thrown into a secret prison. Please look for me.
I’ll be studying at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) until the end of May, so please communicate with me via email, Facebook, Skype, g-chat, and blogging (or blog-battling). If I don’t answer for a few days, no worries – chances are, I’m traveling.
Right now I’m wasting away in Palo Alto. No one is home, so the only activities I’ve completed in the past week are: get a Typhoid shot, discuss with my doctor all the things that could kill me, and put off writing this entry.
I’m looking forward to being in Hong Kong; I hope to find something interesting while I’m there. I’ll let you know if I do. Wish me luck!
Alex
