What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?

It was a great experience that allowed me to know other cultures and lifestyles. In addition, I learnt a lot about the country where I studied. Indeed, thanks to my great teachers I am now able to speak fluently spanish. I am now enjoying my time in Hong Kong.
