The Other 2 Internships
Hello from China! I'm entering the final 2 weeks of my time here as an intern in Shenzhen and I can't believe how quickly the time has passed and etc. China feels like home to me now, although every now and then I'll come across a subtle reminder...

We Need Queen Money
Approaching the end of Week 3 and it's safe to say that the time is flying by. Work is going well and I'm growing more adjusted to the vastness of Hong Kong. Even after 8 weeks I doubt I'll have scratched the surface of the place. Despite...
