Will be transferring to HK late Summer and have found this site to be extremely helpful.
I wanted to know whether the Asian Expats on this site have found it difficult to integrate into HK Society? To narrow down the question, I am ethnically Chinese but that's where the similarity ends (although I love phoenix claws).
Having grown and worked in the US, I am used to the laid back lifestyle, work when there's work and not sit around to kill time, straight as an arrow with no hidden agenda etc.
From my readings on this site, Hongkers seems to be an aggressive and materialistic place with co-workers out to get you no matter what and that you've to constantly watch your back. Is this true or am I generalizing?
What about the social scene?
Any thoughts and experiences from similar-cased Expats are welcomed!
Cheers.
