I gained more courage myself while exploring Hong Kong. I think the city is big enough that you can do a lot by yourself. Kellie Ho - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
My (Cantonese) language skills improved immensely while I was abroad, which was one of my primary goals before going. I additionally learned to keep an open mind and to not be afraid to put myself out there to try new experiences-- you'll never know who you'll meet and what you'll discover!
