Recently I spent 6-weeks in Hong Kong as an intern for the Epoch Times. I came here as a student looking to develop my journalism as well as experience my first trip out of the United States and get an introduction to Asian culture. While most of my work was focused in the bustling city, my rural background had me yearning for peace and quiet, especially when homesickness kept me restless.

About 700 Hong Kong and Taiwan residents marched through the streets of Hong Kong over the weekend.
