Yes methinks you should don a mouth nappy, as so much crap comes out of your mouth.

Hong Kong is a leading centre for business, financial services, banking, tourism, freight and accessing asia. If anyone in Brazil knows nothing of Hong Kong then maybe they should crawl out from under the rock they are living under. Regardless of what you think, Sydney is still a large city, not massive and overpopulated by brazillian standards but nevertheless not small either.

Is it true that Brazil is sunny? Australia is never sunny anymore - because of the hole in the ozone layer. It sucks

HK lush residential neighbourhoods just can't beat Sampa ones,this is FACT

thewallpart6 · August 27th, 2010, 07:49 PM

Seems to me FACT has been abused as much as WORLD CLASS and ANAL CABBAGE.

leo_MG · August 27th, 2010, 10:12 PM

Well, i've got an uncle who lives in China and goes to HK sometimes.He told me that Sampa has so much more lush houses, and they are more charmous, too.And this is something that Hk can only dream of. I'm not saying that HK have no good houses, i LOVE HK, but in this case SP can beat HK. I won't discuss this anymore,one day visit Sao Paulo and tell me.

Reread your post on 'Kong Kong' then tell me whether mainland China's first language is English. It disproves your theory

So whatever your uncle tells you becomes a FACT?

To be honest, the favelas in Sao Paolo are beautiful, just look at those trees

And really, it's not that different to Frankston, VIC, Rockingham, WA or Elizabeth, SA

And with class.

Sao Paulo´s detached homes are larger, more luxurious and sophisticated than the one´s of HK showed previously in this thread.

I´m a fan of many of HK skyscrapers, but when it comes to houses, Sao Paulo has more to offer. It has much more people living in large homes than in HK, which is a natural thing since HK is a far more dense and packed city.

São Paulo homes:

This one was recently in the Wallpaper magazine.

Another residence in Sao Paulo.

Another one...

leo_MG · August 29th, 2010, 12:27 AM

Like I said, Sao Paulo has more lush houses. those ones are wonderful,amazing,lushuous, in the level of MaryT and Sampa indeed

Sao Paulo is not full of affluent, leafy suburban streets either. Hong Kong actually has more detached houses in nice areas than you might think, HK is not all densely populated high rise units.

YES, Sao Paulo IS full of leafy suburban streets, MUCH more than Hong Kong.

Sao Paulo is not a sprawling city like Brasilia where almost everyone lives in a suburban house, but is far from being a fully dense city like Hong Kong.

Yes, Hong Kong has islands and beaches in its surroundings, but I´m talking about neighbourhoods.

The photos of homes in HK that someone posted before show nothing but some isolated houses in the Peak, which, to be honest, were quite simple ones for the price they cost. They didn´t prove me wrong. HK lacks large neighbourhoods of detached houses.

You are the one who should learn more about Sao Paulo before saying that it is not full of leafy neighbourhoods.
