    Chinese history and maps are great to get to know. But alot of history is written by other sources that aren't always truthful so watchout.

    My parents are both from HK. Sadly, I've only been there once. Or was it 2x? Either way, it was a LONG time ago, and I need to visit it ASAP.

    My parents were both born in Hong Kong and then a few years later they moved here to Canada. I wish I was born in Hong Kong though T_T
    Maybe then I wouldn't be so stupid and a bit more Asian than I am now lol
