Hi there, This is Fiona from Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is remarkable for its street food and is rewarded the best skyline. I enjoy its stunning view and visit different islands every weekend.

I have been to most of the Asian countries, such as Japan, Taiwan and Thailand. Because of being fascinated by Japanese culture, I have learnt Japanese for more than three years. But still not that advance.

Countries in Eastern Europe also attract me. I hope I can travel there soon without any COVID restriction.

I'm from South Korea. Living in Glasgow now, so I have to have a short trip when I go to school. I love Scotland because there is a lack of diversity in Korea whereas there are various type of people respected in a proper way here.. I think! - Jiseon.

My hometown Nanchang is located in an inland city in southeast China. As a provincial capital, there are the most common and homogeneous urban landscapes with beautiful natural sceneries. I spent four years as an undergraduate in Shanghai and then moved to Shenzhen to work. The fast pace and omnipresent consumer culture of big cities can be both exhilarating and exhausting. Actually, I prefer to find my cultural identity in Taiwan, a gentle place that combines tradition and modernity.

I spent an unforgettable undergraduate four years here, and met excellent classmates and teachers. Although I was not born here, it can be said that this is my second hometown. Last year, because of the covid-19, I was not able to return to school to attend the graduation ceremony. I feel sad and miss here very much.

Hi everyone! I am Mark and I come from Hong Kong. Hong Kong is an extremely busy city which contains almost 8 millions of people. I have a high sense of belonging in Hong Kong because I was born and grew up in Hong Kong, the food and transport is just mesmerizing. I've been to many places in Asia and Malaysia, and hopefully I can get a job in Canada because Canada has beautiful view as well!

The questions would be complex for me hah. Though my ancestors were all born in Jiangxi and Hunan Province, I was bringing up in Guangdong Province and went for university in Beijing. Given to the decade of living in Guangdong, Lingnan Culture could mostly drive my sense of belonging. And as for the future, I would say I just have an undeveloped plan to study further in Germany. Maybe I will go there just for academics instead of the settlement.
