Note- Hong Kong
Hong Kong was where I got started my life. It remains very unique and very diverse in different ways that many people do not know. Even before the handover of Hong Kong, the diverse populations always exist, now these people come from China instead of South Asia or Britain. People are good hosts and entertainers. They know how to eat and dine besides shopping. This is what I always will remember of Hong Kong.
