I came to HK without knowing very well what to expect but I can tell you that I absolutely loved it!
Maybe because it is a shopper's paradise and I am a crazy shopper!
I don't know, forget about deep China. This has nothing to do with it.
HK is an ex-British Colony as it was a very interesting port for the trading for tea and silk and that is something you can notice straightaway here.
To start with, a lot of the layout of the island is British style and English is still today quite widely spoken and there is a bit of a Brit atmosphere going on. Not like in the UK! of course.. that would be too much but somehow HK is different from the rest of China, more open and a bit more close to the European culture.
I love it!! |

you are right, on sundays u can see hundreds of filipinos and indonesians (not malaysians by the way) crowding the malls, having a fellowship and to foster good relationship among themselves | cazz38 Tue Dec 21, 2004 22:15 UTC
