Funny that some think FOW/DH gonna teach anyone to speak better English (than eg School).... A nanny might but they’re a completely different price bracket.

They are not forced at gunpoint but between starving and modern slavery, they choose the latter... Just like they can complain about being mistreated and as a reward, they go right back to poverty, don't pass go, don't collect 200$. Mind you, the HK government didn't invent the system, the colonial powers were very happy to leave labor laws at home and exploit local workers around the world and line their pockets nicely along the way.

This is exactly the point - fdh labour is pulling millions of families out of starvation poverty.They are not forced at gunpoint but between starving and modern slavery, they choose the latter...
Yes it would be wonderful if they could all have well paid jobs running pet hotels or training o.a.p.s to use word processors instead, but that isn't how the global economy works.

Personally I feel HK is less bothered about appearance. It seems anything goes whereas UK can be quite fashion conscious.
UK is a big place, are you comparing HK to London or to The middle of the Lake district/cotswolds?
As regards food, I'd say London has more variety than HK.
