Hong Kong was really fun, but it's pretty much centered around eating and shopping. Good food really is pretty much everywhere. The locals are up late and always shopping, often for electronics - even the girls. There's
shopping everywhere, and I mean everywhere. I got a bit tired of that so it was time to leave. A lot of the younger people I ran into were pretty nice and helpful, but also quite a few of the locals were kinda rude and had a bit of an air about them. This generally goes away if you speak
English to them, but since I'm
Asian American they think I'm local. Of course if you're not an of
Asian decent you probably won't run into this problem.

I'm from Southern California where it's perfect 10 months a year.

American's perspective.
