I agree the malls in Thailand were the best!!! I have ever seen.

At 13:03, Where you are standing and beyond used to be the ferry port that whole area is a reclaimed land all the way to the waterfront, that building used to be residential but now mostly office. At 19:24 that’s the equivalent to your Sydney Opera House, it’s called Xi Gu Centre (戲曲) or Chinese Opera House.

[@davidluong5651]

Cool, your mom speaks cantonese too!

[@Star-008]

Such a nice and interesting vlog!! And your mum speaks perfect Cantonese, she's so lovely 💕

[@kimmoess]

[@EatTravelSteve]

Another great video. Could you put the name of the restaurants and what you are eating somewhere in your descriptions. Thank you :)

[@sdarkao9297]

Good video mate. Helpful

[@jenhiah73]

Hey bro! Happy new year and it’s been awhile, wish you and your family have a great year ahead! Hope you have fun in HKG! And I heard your mom speaking Cantonese at the yum cha restaurant…

[@davidkhai]

Happy New Year! Yeh she can speak cantonese which really helped in HK

[@girlywhirly4971]

@@davidkhai U take after your mum since it seems like u r very well blessed with the ability to pick up other languages amazingly quick. That is a gift and an asset.

[@bebelei245]

Don’t forget to visit Macau 😊!!! I can take you around. It’s 1hr from HK.

[@visionarystyle_]

Awesome would like to see more hong kong vlogs

[@sdarkao9297]

27:21 香港的紙鈔設計真是漂亮！The design of Hong Kong banknotes is really beautiful！

[@plcanadahk1]

Hey David we said hello in TST on Xmas Eve….hope your mom and you enjoyed HK!!! Cheers Perry

[@davidkhai]

Great to meet you guys!

[@simon4018]

Always awesome to watch your vids mate. So where is your ‘go to’ for yum cha in Melbourne?

[@davidkhai]

I’m from the South East so my go to is Shark Fin in Keysborough. Can’t comment too much on the cbd unfortunately

[@williamtam6732]

I been to that Tofu shop when I was a kid before coming to the US. Its close to where I used to live.

[@1234Tubie]

I was there for a couple of days way back in 1984 at 17 years old during the immigration flight transition from Bangkok to San Francisco to our final destination Houston. All I can remembered was the night landing at the old airport right next to the ocean, staying at a tall small double bed high rise, eating dim sam the next morning. The night life was so flashy with many people and neon lights and tall buildings next to each other, a bit like China Town in NYC. The day time I looked down and so many trashes were in the streets like Vn NOW. I still preferred Bangkok back then with more open spaces and wild looking buses with colorful decors and small fans inside lol.

[@stereohype1]

@19:23 fyi that's the Xiqu Center of Performing Arts aka the Chinese Opera House (theatre). Here you can get tickets to see live performances of traditional chinese operas and plays. I have a friend who works there as one of the opera singers. Also, thankyou for visiting our wonderful city!

[@coachdms]

HongKong famous for the egg waffle !!! is that good or better than the one in the US ??

[@girlywhirly4971]

It seems like it's more expensive. Plus ours has ice cream in the waffle egg when they wrap it like a cone. Delicious! Even the small no frills hotel room was very expensive. idk Their airport has the same train system ours has because it's so big to get u from one end to the other very quickly, also we have huge malls like that too. He should come visit America lol

[@davidkhai]

The egg waffle I had so okay, nothing special

[@kushal809]

Awesome❤❤❤

[@trailrunningexperience496]

Put your octopus card on your phone using the app mate. HK is still super quiet regarding tourism so spend up large. Sadly Temple street has a very high %age of trafficked woman. Your comment on the neon lights is interesting; amongst the many things the citizens have pushed back on their government has been the removal of neon signs. Recently some legislators have woken up and now calling for their preservation and in many cases return. Head up on a trail - really recommend the dragons back at this time of the year. Always a huge fan of the crispy rice at the bottom.

[@darrenbadger6814]

I grew up in Springvale, and it was the best for yum cha and any asian food in general, but that was 30 years ago when there were heroin dealers on every corner😢

[@theoadelaidabondocabe7261]

Happy New Year to you this weekend from Hong Kong, China to shows these amazing places & Landmarks in January of 2024❤❤❤I really LOVE your great video so much today @ work in the United States of America 2024❤❤❤

[@H.Witcher]

Property space is very expensive in HK. The bathroom in your hotel room is larger than the average residential apartment.

[@davidkhai]

It’s crazy how small they are

[@H.Witcher]

Yeah, you will find shop space on HK island is smaller than the mainland Kowloon.

[@nowgettheretravel6877]

I never queue for food. I've always been disappointed! Just go around the corner, you'll find something with no queue and tasty food.

[@davidkhai]

Nothing worse than queuing for food only for it to be average

[@debischlemmer7878]

David when are you popping to phuket or railway or aonang again 😊

[@davidkhai]

I have plans to come back to Thailand this year :)

[@tuantran-de5bi]

Hey David....I was the guy by Ben Thanh Market 10 days ago saying that you looked familiar.....lol....you responded youtube?.....

[@davidkhai]

Haha good to meet you

[@tuantran-de5bi]

I am back in San Jose, California.....let me know when you are in the area@@davidkhai

[@LearningToLetGoOfYourDream]

Hk has the cleanest toilets to me , almost as clean ad Japan’s. Their streets and outlook might look a bit messy and dated but the people there are actually very hygienic…

[@mgear088]

Hong Kong has the cleanest toilets? It really depends on where you go.

[@LearningToLetGoOfYourDream]

@@mgear088 perhaps u r right, been hk many times so far so good except when someone from their neighbourhood just finished using it…I had bad experience in Shanghai .

[@ReportsonHongkong]

Where is anaconda restaurant 🇨🇳

[@John-K-N]

Cured pork & liver sausage, or spareribs, rather than beef, would have been better choices at the claypot rice place you went to on Temple Street. And those are baked pineapple crust, bbq pork buns you had at Dim Sum, not fried pork buns. Hope you found street eats more to you & your Mommy's liking the rest of your trip in HK.

[@AznJJLinCpopstar]

Is Hong Kong easy to travel?

[@davidkhai]

Very easy to travel

[@stargeri5877]

HELLO DAVID N MOM❤😊👍💪

[@kavarasings9813]

youll find the yum cha is much better in china.

[@tristans7153]

They even whip out mainland of China with Asia from the map😂😂😂

[@snappop]

what do you mean? that toilet looked pretty above average size to me mate 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@davidkhai]

Maybe I’ve been travelling South East Asian countries for too long haha

[@williamtam6732]

Did I hear your mother or your aunt speaking Cantonese during yum cha in Tim Ho Wan?

[@nikserof2183]

I heard it too, 16:51 辣椒 ớt 🌶😁

[@davidkhai]

Mum speaks Cantonese

[@Tienlinhho]

Great video. your mom knocked the hotel door that's' a superstitious thing that we are taught in HK/China to let the spirits know you are coming in to stay as a courtesy. They believe if you go in unannounced they will be bugging you all night.

[@davidkhai]

Ohh interesting! Mum is pretty superstitious too haha

[@LearningToLetGoOfYourDream]

The magazines are legitimate but the “workers” are not 😂… THW dimsum was not to my liking , next time try where the locals go, especially the old folks usual hangout places .

[@worldlife9834]

Culture shocked tourists videos are common. Report on the mistreatment and abuse of foreign domestic workers in Hong Kong. You will also notice no racial diversity in the workforce include shops, restaurants and other service industries.

[@OMGMEOW746]

I’m so curios that why you can’t speak Cantonese.

[@davidkhai]

Parents spoke Vietnamese growing up so that’s all I learnt off them, would have been cool to learn

[@cheryll8008]

Honestly I think yam cha in Australia is so much better than Hk itself

[@mgear088]

Maybe the environment but certainly not the dim sum quality, HK wins hands down.

[@cheryll8008]

@@mgear088 It's your opinion against mine. I am entitled to have my own opinion about the quality of yam cha. Same goes to Vietnamese pho. Its so much tastier in Australia than HCM. As if I never been so I can compare them.

[@theoadelaidabondocabe7261]

Welcome to Hong Kong, China this week in great joy & peace January of 2024❤❤❤I wish you the BEST in Asia 2024❤❤❤

Next stop Beijing!

One day for sure!

Please do not video in PUBLIC restrooms. There's no need to record those few seconds there. You should leave people some privacy while doing business there. Like most people, I would not appreciate seeing myself doing #1 on a KZbin video. Just being considerate.

He recorded 3 seconds of the paper towel system, what you crying about
