    Things you haven't encountered prior to living in HK

    Super pricy Japanese fruits. Whether it's $260 for 4 peaches, $200 for 10 strawberries or $1700 watermelons. Does anyone actually buy those?

    Those are Mainlanders, or so I heard. But yeah I agree this is a weird thing they do that I haven't encountered anywhere else.

    Men who cough up a greeny/flem whilst I'm in the swimming pool and proceed to spit it out out a few metres away from me.

    Fecking ANIMALS!

    The big stupid attempt at face saving smiles. Something that baffles me. I guess you have to be a local to understand it, to everyone else you just look like a moron.

    Personalised number plates on heap of s**t cars.

    Brainwashed women.

    Personal safety at 4am.

    Little denim shorts.

    Actually that's nothing Morrison hill pool had a notice up last year ' pool closed due to vomit in pool ' worst thing is it was a proper sign which suggest it happens more than one would wish . A whole lot more detail than the average person would need I thought . I have not been able so summon up the courage to go back since .
