The Harsh Truth About HK

This is what I really think about Hong Kong. Hong Kong still has a unique charm from the red taxis to the skyline. But honestly it feels like a city past its prime and I mean that respectfully. Many years ago, I traveled to Hong Kong with a tour group. I had menus thrown at me, no please, not even a smile. Hongkongers seem way more stressed out and way less patient. They speak a mixture of Cantonese and English. As a Taiwanese, I can't speak Cantonese. People in HK generally don't smile to strangers and never say thank you. Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas on Earth. Large numbers of Hong Kongers have emigrated to Britain, Australia and Canada in recent years.

It's bold stylish and still iconic,  a true mix of east and west. But personally I prefer places where people are just a bit more polite, more peaceful, and far away from the chaos.

關於香港的残酷事实 这是我对香港的真实看法。 从红色出租车到天际线，香港仍然具有独特的魅力。 但老实说，觉得这是已经过了黄金时期的城市，我是尊重地说。 好多年之前，我随旅行团去香港旅游。 有人朝我扔菜单，没有“请”字，连个微笑都没有。 香港人似乎压力更大，耐心更少。 他们说话粤语和英语夹杂。 香港人一般不会对陌生人微笑，也从不说谢谢。 香港是地球上人口最稠密的地区之一。 近年来，大批香港人移居英国、澳大利亚和加拿大。 自从香港回归中国以来，就出现了劳动力外流。 香港有一座李小龙的雕像，以纪念这位功夫巨星。 我尊重香港的身份和历史。 它大胆时尚，仍然具有标志性的，是东西方的真正交汇。 但就个人而言，我更喜欢人们更有礼貌，更平和、远离混乱的地方。
