Hong Kong is like an amazing combination of East & West. Seriously! We have this modern technology, tall skyscrapers the highest % of mobile phone ownership and people still eat chicken feet, insides of ducks, snakes etc. hahahahaha For a former British colony, we have an appalling lack of good English speakers! hahahahaha
After 1997, not much change to be honest. China promised 50 years of no change (like that is possible!!)
There is no city like Hong Kong It's the gateway into China - which is still a culturally-shocking place. It's expensive and space is at a premium!
It's kind of like Taipei, Taiwan but yet different cause Taiwan is a huge country. Hong Kong is a 400 sq mile island plus the tip of mainland China. Hong Kong has a population that's 99% Chinese. 6.5 million people live here!
