if it is a platonic relationship, what sane guy would bother meeting the girl in the first place!!!
As friends????
I beg to differ on those comments that states that local girl always expect you to pay.
I have dine in several occasion with local girls (some friends, some at the very early stages of friendship) and they did invite me...
Personally, I believe in equal opportunity. Whether it's a date or not, it should be shared one way or another unless one has announced a treat. I don't mind picking up the bill but if the person makes no effort or move at splitting, that'll be the last meal they ever get from me.
And I agree with Mat, I've been treated plenty of time by local ladies.

In that case I'm sorry to say that it's your choice of HK girls that is to blame, and not the inherent nature of all HK girls. I know plenty who would not only insist on going dutch after a "platonic" dinner, but also on a date. I am not local but I've always treated my men (and male friends, although less often) to dinners and many other things.
