We are currently in Hong Kong and about to move on to Dubai. Hong Kong has been great! Its skyline is unreal and the landscape on which the city sits is really beautiful. We met another girl who was traveling from New Zealand back to Germany and she was motivated enough to basically be our tour guide for the day. Also met one of Netto's friends here and he showed us a good dose of the Hong Kong nightlife. All in all a good experience, but my favorite part was actually outside the city itself at the Big Buddha on Lantau island...
Thoughts: Over this trip we've done some pretty amazing and challenging hikes. From Tongariro crossing to Franz Joseph Glacier to taking all our bags up to the Big Buddha, we've been pretty adventurous. During those hikes, the scenery is mind-blowing and for the most part we are concentrated on what is ahead. Every now and then, however, it was nice to stop and turn around to see where we were a few hours before. And more often than not the view was spectacular.
During fourth year we've been celebrating our pending completion of medical school and celebrating our impending doom of what will be intern year. But now that we've almost reached graduation, now is a good time to look back and reflect on what we did the last four years; the friends we made, the great fun we had and the challenges we over came. I feel that now, more than any other time the last four years, I have time to retrospect and appreciate what medical school meant in my life.
