    I dont understand

    before I pack for my trip to HK
    all my friends told to buy longer shorts, because the length of my shorts are too short to walk out into the street and not get sneer looks from the people
    same thing about some of my tank top, too releaving

    but but but
    if that's the case, how come all the stars are dressed up in short shorts and belly-less shirts

    i've already had a scary encouter in HK though regarding this stuff

    Wearing shorts in the middle of the HK winter really turns some heads
    but from someone who is raised in the snow, 20C is warm!

    when im in HK during winter, im in T-shirts or just a thin sleeved top

    but the true HKers rock puffer jackets, thick coats or snow wear :p

    although it is cold in the mornings especially in china, since none of the houses have insulation...

    trust me...if ur walking on the streets in hk...u want to wear "proper" clothes...
    I wouldnt wear a tank top over there....
    my grandmother was nagging on me when i wore a v neck top...
    it was with short sleeves and u couldnt see anything but she thought it was too revealing because it was a bit tight =/

    lol..some helpful friend you have there...not.
    As if they would sneer, just wear "normal" clothes unless your old like 40+, then you could wear clothes with no sense of fashion.

    Girls wear shorts? Shorts are usually found in Boys' Wear or Men's Wear shops and skirts are found in Ladie's shops and never in boys' or men's wear. Short girls' "shorts" were called hot pants. Girls don't wear shorts either even when they play tennis. They wear short skirts. Shorts with zips on the front is so manly! You would not get sneer looks in Hong Kong. They have seen it all in Hong Kong with so many millions of tourists coming from all parts of the world. Longer shorts, if you have to wear them, they are good if they have pockets lower down with buttons and zips. Then you are less likely to be pick pocketed but they are so unfeminine!
