yea.... people here always think that HK is in Japan.....
I just can't get it........
Why do they think HK is part of Japan????? :nono: :no: :ohno: :weird:

UFO?!
Nop, they didn't look at me as UFO,

It's because alot of people in the United States are mostly focused on domestic interests. They don't pay too much attention to what is going on outside their country.

How about this, show them Kansas folk pics of HK's skyline especially the Symphony of Lights. Also the streetscapes, infrastructure and transportation ;)

Do you know I was asked by one Canadian that whether Japan is the capital of Hong Kong :eek2: while I was traveling to Vancouver couples of years ago. How ridiculous :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

To be frank, I never expected some Canadian can be that ignorant of HK or even the whole Asia by the fact that there are a huge amount of Asian imigrants. I didn't expect they are familiar with Asia but I thought they're supposed to know some basic information about Asia.

But all in all, I love Vancouver, it's an extremely nice place for travelling.

@o@

How stupid they are.....

A country is the capital of a city !?!?!


STUPID.... =.="

It's not they're actually stupid but alot of Americans and perhaps, Canadians are more focused on domestic interests. Either that or they don't teach geography in schools. Both countries are huge. Someone living in the East Coast wouldn't care so much on what's happening on the West Coast or vice versa.

Probably its the same thing with China. People in Urumqi wouldn't pay too much attention on what's happening in Guangzhou. Maybe I might be wrong!

How about this, what are some of the advertisements you see in a local Kansas TV channel and compare them with most ads you see in HK.

Maybe Chevy Trucks, Denny's diner, local home supply stores...

I don't think they'll see any ads promoting Hong Kong tourism, or Dubai tourism, etc...

When I was in LA, most ads I saw were on automobiles, health care or auto insurance. I think advertisments are more creative on either Chicago or New York.

As for HK, I see alot of ads on business and banking. Makes the city very professional isn't it.

i guess americans r too ignorant to know what s happening in the rest of the world ...
but i did see ads on Hk tourism here ... in bay area ...
actually ... quite a lot ...

yea.... people here always think that HK is in Japan.....
I just can't get it........
Why do they think HK is part of Japan????? :nono: :no: :ohno: :weird:

Because HK has heavy Japanese influences. .. :)

So many HKers read Japanese magazines, listen to J-pop, watch Anime, movies & Jap shows, wear Japanese fashions, follow the latest fads from Tokyo, etc... We even copied their work ethic, and emulated their likes/dislikes (eg. karaoke)

You should ask him what part of Canada he's from. If his hometown is Vancouver, you should slap him silly in the face (do it for me at least). ;) Afterall, we're Hongcouver...unless he's never been outside of his home since birth, there is simply no way he could be so stupid as to not know anything about HK. There's a HKer at every corner in Vancouver, so he would have to be an extreme introvert not to know one.

so true ...
actually ... in san francisco ... in japan town ...
u see as many honkie as japanese ...
n quite a number of "japanese" restaurants ... are operated/ owned by chinese ...

hahaha, maybe u can ask whether vancouver is a city in USA !!

But i guess not alot of ppl get the opportunity to trave abroad so they are not aware

Count me in. I just moved here :D

I added you and jose_kwan. Welcome to SSC, both of you :)

Anyway, for simon,

I have heard some study that over 50% of American surveyed can't point out where the United States is when they were given a world map. Let alone what cities are in Asia.

Maybe Chevy Trucks, Denny's diner, local home supply stores...

I don't think they'll see any ads promoting Hong Kong tourism, or Dubai tourism, etc...
they got some dating hotline after 12am too.

Thx, WANCH~~


I got a Question to ask.....


Who will go back to Hong Kong during the summer holiday?

jose_kwan has been on SSC for a while in the past. I remember seeing him post, then disappeared for a bit, and has now returned. Welcome back.

Looks like we're having more HK forumers here than ever :D

Especially Australia and Sydney which is also a prime destination for HK tourists.

BTW, what makes Sydney a very popular destination with HK tourists?

Please add me to the list!

Thailand is the top tourist destination for HK tourists outside the greater China area.

Thailand is the top tourist destination for HK tourists outside the greater China area.

I think one of the reasons why Thailand is a top destination is because the fare is cheap. In fact the ticket from HK to Bangkok is one of the cheapest in South East Asia.

Hong Thai, HK's largest travel agency, started off with Thailand package tours, and has evolved into today's giant. Thailand is served by a multitude of carriers with a lot of cheap alternatives such as Thai Sky. Therefore, prices can still be kept low. However, mainland China is also a very cheap place to travel, especially in Guangdong province for short 3-day trips. Even a package tour to Shanghai/Hangzhou for 4-5 days is comparable to Thailand.

If I have the choice, I prefer taking the Shanghai/Hangzhou package :)

Those package tours are all in Cantonese though.

Feel free to browse and post in here! It's open to everyone, not just Hong Kongers. We welcome everybody's participation!

I know that its a bit off topic

Dear HK forumers,

In 3 weeks I will fly from Fukuoka to Kuala Lumpur by Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong , and I have 20 hour ( overnight ) stopover so I want to know if any forumers in HK could show me around. I love nature very much, and I know that Lantau Island has many beautiful and scenic places. And I love eating too, I know that Hong Kong is very famous for its food so I want to know where in Hong Kong should I go to taste them

Regards

Skyprince

I miss Hong Kong

^^ It's always good to miss our hometown, but remember not to overdo it. Cheer up dude!!

yo i m here:banana:

I am so impressed by your very active forum! How i wish Singapore has a forum as vibrant and informative as yours!

Keep it up!!

^^ It's always good to miss our hometown, but remember not to overdo it.

Exactly. For new Hong Kongers, do not stick to your hometown's lifestyle in a stubborn fashion. This might make your life less enjoyable. This is a problem of some North Americans living in Hong Kong.

It is up to you whether to stay in North America, or to live in Hong Kong. I have to admit that in general, the business culture in Hong Kong could be somewhat stressful for some North Americans. Be prepared for the hot and humid summer--- it IS always much less comfortable than +40 C at your hometown in the Midwest or the Prairies.

Personally I was impressed by the layout of the city--- looks dense and functional, transport system is generally more efficient, personal connections and generally good working culture.

^^ So random :D

I love HK!

I agree. Heat is a big problem, as are mosquitoes. I have 6 bites on one arm. The tropical climate really helps breed those things. Sometimes all the neon signage and the crushing crowds get to me... after a while it can get dizzying.

I'm not a true Hong Konger :)

why not update the list and add me in?

I'm now in HK until oct 8.

Reporting for duty.

me too too

Mosquitos bother me, but the heat doesn't, I actually think the Californian winters are too cold, lol, not intolerable, but I'd rather it be warmer.

me too too

Took you a while.

Anyway, me three, if I haven't already.

Don't know when the hell can I get back to HK... :(!!!!!!!!
