BU Market Student Story: Kartikay Dhar

Light up the festival vibes! Never too much celebration!!

There have been many interesting experiences in my 2 years of stay in HKBU so far. The Diwali celebrations of 2022, Holi celebrations in March 2023 and other activities. These festivals not only got in touch with my root and were really helpful in bonding with the people from different countries.

I have experienced the local food culture and traditions of Hong Kong. It has been thoroughly amazing seeing a culture so similar yet so different from mine. Hong Kong has its signature local culture, but also contains culture from different countries to form a harmonious community. Hong Kong is truly a cultural melting pot.
