    Racist!

    Racist!

    -Crime levels
    Hong Kong is one of the safest places when it comes to crime, unless you are a triad member or making a movie

    -Is it expensive or cheap to live in
    Yes and no




    Racist. Really? Calm down. Asking whether or not the area has a more Asian or western feel/population is not racist. Perhaps the question could have been worded better, but I don't think you need to throw the race card out there so quickly.

    Claire's post is clearly tongue in cheek.

    If the non-serious tone of the rest her post didn't make it clear enough, the "Location" under her avatar should be a bit of a give away

    This map is spot on! See, this is exactly why we don't need a book for moving to HK! It put us exactly where we belong, hah!

    So by the map you can see that monkeys live in Gold coast, snakes in Sai Kung and hookers in Happy Valley. Cool!

    This looks like a pre-Disney map, otherwise they'd have another "Mainland Tourists" bit on Lantau.

    Many a time I've thought "I'd sooner shoot myself than go to Disney".
