    What's it like. How'd you do it? And of course do you enjoy it?

    I wish I lived in Hong Kong, but I don't know how to find a job there. No connection.

    Spent like 2 weeks in HK last year. Lots lots lots of people everywhere. Most of them walk very fast during rush hours. People don't seem to take the time to enjoy life and relax. Well... maybe they enjoy life by doing stuff very fast. They seem to always run on a heavy schedule. :/ Cars run on opposite sides (compared to America and other places not britain).

    But, it's cool. Really enjoyed my time there. You have everything you need in HK. Cheap stuff, expensive stuff. Pastries shop almost everywhere. 7-Eleven almost everywhere. Nice subway system. And most people can understand me, compared to Guangzhou, when I mix canto and english. lol

    thats cos a lot of chinese ppl like to mix canto and english. these days some like to mix both of those with some mandarin too lol. ye ppl do travel very quickly i agree. the pace of life is very quick and i think it is expeccted from most big cities anyways.

    Haha, yes. It's true about the 7 elevens. Was in Tai Po and was a a crossroads and there were 2 7-11 opposite each other, and at least 1 more down the road. It's nuts. And yeah pastry shops a bundle. Was there for 4 months so really got used to it.

    lol and if it's not a 7-Eleven, it's gotta be a Circle K. :p While I was there, they were giving out Doraemon stamps for each 20$HK (I think) you spent or those Super Mario Bros paper clips. Aaww... I miss those pastry shops and Aji Ichiban stores. T__T

    ye 7-elevens and circle k are everywhere. though i think there are more 7-elevens tbh. gotta love those shops for ur snacks lol. ye i like those pastry shops too. tbh hk is a pretty cool place to live if u don't mind the pace and the heat in the summer with its gripping atmosphere/humidity.

    I don't think I would mind the heat and all. I can adapt to it pretty easily. Man, I just can't get enough of the food there. Wanna move back there soon.

    i visited hong kong a few years back...love the food, so many choices but overcrowded with people--if you and your friend are chinese or asian for that matter, you can easily lose each other (due to the fact that it's hard to search each other in the crowd of asians)
