FINAL COMMENTS

the exchange program in that university was OK, but the fact, I was in Macau, where there are low cost flight, it makes easier and much less to travel through the south east asia. macau,not far from Hong Kong, very close (by air) to the others countries of south east asia, and common border to china, helps to travel easily, cheaper and get an overview on the different culture.

Try to travel a bit, especially to the mainland China, which is very different from Macau or Hong Kong. Hong Kong is definitely also worth a visit. very impressive. Be patient when you come to this country and open for new things!

Macau is so small and crowdy (0.4M local residences and 16M tourists in 27km2 tiny place) Few people can speak Portuguese. Although the city is famous in Gaming industry, local social culture is against on gaming

Most people loved it.
