What’s great about Hong Kong?

For one thing you can live here without ever having to get a driver’s license. The public transportation is so incredibly convenient and efficient that you never have to drive a day in your life.  You have the double decker buses, minibuses, subways, trains, and numerous taxi cabs, all of which will take you virtually anywhere, even to Beijing!

Second, if you ever tire of the city congestion, you’re only 20-30 minutes away from the beaches and mother nature. Hong Kong has numerous hiking trails that are thoroughly planned and maintained to ensure the safety of its trekkers.

Third, it truly is  a melting pot of people of varied nationalities that make up the general ex-pat population who live on Hong Kong Island. We share with each other our rich cultures that’s generally exchanged over a pint of beer. It is then that I increasingly find myself spitting out, “bloody hell” and “rubbish.” Often times I’ll also pick up their native accents because it’s so bloody catchy.
