The place changed my life entirely. Wish I'd have had more time to travel in the region, but did get to Vietnam, Malaysia and some parts of China. Your time in Hong Kong might be as strange as mine.

That's the problem with having too many blogs. I should import my other one into WordPress. To answer your question, I lived and studied Chinese in Hong Kong from late 2003 until August 2006. So, nearly 3 years. I can't say I loved it, but I think that I had a stranger experience while there than most. However, I did love traveling and spending time on the mainland, and now that I've left, I have fonder memories of Hong Kong. Hopefully, I'll be back doing research in a year. Cheers, Theresa Hi Ian -

Do you live there? I loved the place when I lived there - mid nineties for about four years. Hi,
