Let me explain. I'm BBC, so I look local can speak a little of the lingo but for work purposes would rather stick to english (in case I say anything wrong in chinese). I find that the locals kinda stick together and don't socialise with expats or BBC's like me. At lunch time they all just vanish and when I look around there are just the odd expat sitting on their own. Why do they do this?, can't they see that expats might want to socialise with them as well, it's hard enough to make friends here in HKG, and even so much harder at my work place.
