I should have known more about typical Chinese people. However, I used to live in Singapore for five years, but the Hong Kong chinese can obviously more rude and unfriendly at times. Just be more cautious and aware of that. Chinese can be backstabbers.

Hong Kong is a great place. All in all, it is exciting and you have access to all other travel places like China ie. Xian Terra Cotta, The Great Wall, Shanghai, Guanzhou and other countries like Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. All travel packages booked from Hong Kong are very affordable and cheap.

work it all out when you get here, don't think anything before you've done it, you'll either be dissapointed or jaded. and there are only so many temples one can visit.

Hong Kong is so different from China! Therefore, getting to visit mainland China when studying in Hong Kong is absolutely necessary!
