Go to “Bar 109” in wan chai on a sunday morning as early as possible 9am or earlier (sounds ridiculous but trust me). All the Filipina, Indonesian and non Chinese helpers/servants get that day off and only that day and rage. Never been somewhere where I kissed three women before making it to the bathroom.
Cameron McGregor, Sir I am always glad for your insight . I flew through Hong Kong on katai airlines but I didn't have the papers to get out at that time , there, and just going through to the Philippines or Thailand. I was a world traveler for several years but now at age 57 I'm really slowed down and honestly sir I need your help.
That Chuck Norris movie about Hong Kong was one of the greatest inspirations about that point in time , that place, for him as an actor . And i think he would help me in this world where it's very difficult for someone to help me against the strange TN Mafia that haunts me
This is probably more accurate than the libertarian stereotype. It's more like S. Korean corporatist kleptocracy than an ancap utopia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNL4uk3vbm0
People in HK are Cantonese. They're ethnically the same as the Cantonese in Guangzhou. Guangdong has very many language groups and the Guandonghua are one.
The official party line in China is that these are 'dialects' when in fact they're completely different languages that only share the archaic and impractical writing system, aesthetics notwithstanding. (Btw. the writing is even worse in HK and Taiwan where it's non-simplified, meaning that it's all but inaccessible to foreigners without years of study just to be able to read/write a simple sentence. They created Pinyin for foreigners but no one uses it other than for street signage, and if you write something in Pinyin the Chinese can't understand it. So they killed off all of their bourgeois intelligentsia, destroyed all of their historical heritage and religion, but they made sure that their pretty squiggly 'writing' makes their language all but inaccessible. Trump is so right to go at them.)
The minorities in Guangdong are completely different from the mainstream Han majority, with languages and genetics as diverse as Vietnam and the Philippines: dark skin, large eyes, musical talent (which the Putongua ren and Guandonghua ren are completely devoid of, prob because of tonal language).
Cities like HK are not European friendly, and while I don't mind it as much as white elephant modernist monstrosities like Shenzhen, I feel that this sort of building unduly influencing Western development in countries like Australia that have cut off the umbilical chord to their European heritage and set on the path to soulless modernity.
So they've imported a million Chinese into Sydney who are now money loundering CCP money (previously we had HKers dumping their dollar during the handoff to China) building these soulless Asian style high-rise 'smart cities'.
It's totally shit and ugly concrete and glass stuff, same as in Asia.
Europeans need a hard reset back to traditional European building codes instead of this grotesque Bladerunner modernism.
Constant lauding of Asian development and misdirected addiction to exotica has focussed attention away from what is real architecture, namely, traditional European building codes.
Just look at all the churches and colonial era buildings that are still left and that provide a modicum of character and charm to this ant-hill.
All this Asian stuff is just total shit and garbage, and if you live in HK (I lived next door in SZ for a decade and went to HK for shopping and entertainment) you'll learn that you're outside of their shitty little materialistic robot 'culture'. They're Chinese, and they'll always be Chinese.
Do trade, but keep at arms length as they don't really give a stuff about you and will eff up your culture, as they do.
