We all have things we love and hate about the Country we're from, but thought I'd start one on HK and what everyone loves, hates, finds humorous or revolting about HK
Here's what I've come up with so far
Hate
Humidity
People cramming onto the MTR when there clearly is no space and literally breathing on you and knocking you out with their bags
Spitting
People talking in movies, and adding their own commentary
The difficulty of buying cereal
The quality of clothing/shoes unless branded
The lack of civilization and manners from some individuals
The cheesy public display of public affection from young kids
The large collection of coupons the customer in front of you at the superstore has
How some people behave/act like they’re better than you and they’re the greatest thing god has created
The price of salad in superstores
The prices of English books in HK
Not being able to read Chinese menu’s
The mass amount of pressure people place on their kids education and making them do a billion extra hours of extra curricular classes
Love
Food – range/quality/price etc
Cheap transportation
Convenience of the MTR/Bus/Taxi
How you can use your Octopus card for everything – get into your building, get into work, purchasing things at 7-11 etc
Wide range of cheap accessories
How you can grab something to eat anytime of the day
Watching the groups of people doing Tai Chi in the middle of parks
How most stores are open until late
The culture of lunch breaks at work
Convenience and cost of travelling to other Asian countries.
The coverage of Premier league football
Low income tax
Humorous
Females who wear heels to work who clearly can’t walk in them
Adults who wear hello kitty hair pieces
The range of contrasting clothing colors that people wear in an outfit that don’t match (red bag, blue shoes, yellow top, purple stockings)
The cute attempts of restaurants translating their menus to English
Poses for pictures that girls make
How locals think travelling 30 minutes to another location is far
How I now think travelling 20 minutes to another location is far
Revolting
People picking their nose/hair in public
People doing the above who then roll it in their fingers and then eat it
People burping/farting in public
Spitting
Females who sit opposite you on the MTR with their legs wide open
