Here we go!

Hello beloved readers and friends!

My name is Dimitri Adriano and I am an international business and economics student at the University of South Carolina. No further ado, I am aware of how impatient you are to read my exciting and adventurous chronicles for this upcoming five-month journey to Hong Kong, but no worries, they will be here soon enough!

However, before we begin, I would like you to know a little bit about myself, Hong Kong and why I chose to study there this semester.

I like to think of myself as an energetic person that is always on the run. Uncommonness interests me and learning new things is itself a great reward. Simply meeting, talking to and learning from new people is also a great part of me.

Hong Kong is a vibrant cosmopolitan metropolis that has developed into one of the world’s largest financial centers while keeping its culture and traditions. I could just stop here and it would be enough for you to know how amazing the place is but I will add more. A former British colony that has just recently gained its autonomy, Hong Kong managed to find balance between a newer and westernized city and the strong roots of its local population. Being a free trade oriented economy and having a population of over seven million people has also assisted with the success and the uniqueness of the region.

From those reasons and many more, I believe studying business in Hong Kong for a semester will be a unique opportunity and that is why I chose to do so.

So, if you are just as excited as I am about Hong Kong and you appreciate a good story, continue following me here!
