[@michayng4105]

I'm from HK. Thank you for showing Hong Kong to the world 2024.

[@ShevandDev]

thank you so much for watching 😍

[@dimsumyen4034]

Other than being the Asia financial centre, having the best shopping malls and delicious food … Hong Kong has some world class hiking trails for those who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Though Hong Kong is small, it’s compact and has a bit of everything. It’s a convenient, diversified and energetic city. Have a wonderful time in HK and safe travel.

[@ShevandDev]

honestly wished we stayed longer 😍

I have lived in HK for 10 years. You guys did a great job of covering the territory and explaining everything.

[@ericwan1549]

As a local resident, welcome to Hong Kong! If you want to feeling the local culture of Hong Kong, I suggest going to Sham Shui Po. Which are the best place you can feeling local culture in Hong Kong. You can eat many kinds of Hong Kong food with the cheapest price. ( Sham Shui Po are the place most grass-roots resident at Hong Kong.)

[@ShevandDev]

oh that sounds great! Thank you 😍

HK is a real life Gotham City or Blade Runner. It's beautiful in it's infrastructure and beautiful with it's nature. Also, i would argue one of the most tourist friendly cities in the world, especially for English speakers.

[@wherearewe-yt]

Hong Kong is one of those places we feel like we need to revisit. Our first time, we stayed in a pretty nasty, tiny hotel room. It was during a heat wave, so it was BRUTALLY hot. It's also just so intensely overcrowded, that the combo of all these things put a damper on our trip. On the other hand, there were so many things we LOVED. The food especially. Really can't wait to revisit and give it another go! And we totally had that same Tesla experience here in Budapest. Had absolutely no idea how to get in. But it was amazing. 😂

[@ShevandDev]

Yes we totally get that, the wrong area or wrong hotel can really impact your experience, hope you guys do give it another go! 🤩

[@canto_v12]

Which hotel was this? Hong Kong's a pretty big business and tourism destination, so a major hotel offering a dirty experience is quite rare and would raise eyebrows. That said, space is definitely at a premium and the rooms will be smaller compared to other cities.

[@wherearewe-yt]

@@canto_v12 It was called United Co-operate Hotel. It was all we could afford at the time, and it was still one of the most expensive hotel rooms we've ever booked. 😂

[@iammeandmyself2083]

Welcome to HKG, that cup of coffee is still cheaper than your tall-size Starbucks coffee, 😂. Stumbled onto your channel, just interesting to see what foreigners view on my beloved city.

[@muimui9840]

love hk ... great food, shopping , beautiful weather ,and it is very safe, convenient . I have blissfully lived here for 63 years 😊😊😊😊.

[@ShevandDev]

it really is an exceptional place! We loved it 😍

[@carson3448]

tesla ride is a great idea! 20:45 that random noodle shop you get in is a tiny place thats away from major traffic, popular for local only. The noodle is next level definition to "full of favor", its my fav dish too, and I worked on that street 30 years ago😂 Fort Street, Hong Kong Island, Mak Kee Yummy for whoever interested.

[@cheungtinnga8959]

Welcome to Hong Kong! Thank you for appreciating the beauty of this place. I would be delighted to teach you more Cantonese!

[@ShevandDev]

We would love to learn more! 😍

Mongkok means busy corner in Cantonese, so it’s actually the busiest street in Hong Kong especially at night, literally people mountain people ocean, that’s another Cantonese term.

I saw that you walked pass the Vienna Mansion on Paterson Street, Causeway Bay. My childhood home was in that building. My grandmother's building, Towning mansion, was across the street. I stopped by the street a few times in my 3-week visit in September.

Agreed 😎

[@fantasyray5606]

Such a great video. I miss my trip there with my GF

[@cryptophoenix3031]

I think the numbness you experienced while eating those noodles was you biting to sichuan pepper. It is added to dishes to remove the pain caused by chili, leaving only the taste and "hotness" without pain. Normally you shouldn't bite the peppers, instead remove them or avoid eating them.

[@ShevandDev]

oh that's so interesting, thanks for sharing 🥰

[@Trek2Tomorrow]

We were there two weeks ago. Hong Kong is still beautiful with less tourists from the mainland. Prices of food have gone up but subway MTR is efficient as always.

[@ShevandDev]

The MTR was super efficient and affordable and the trams too, we did find some food spots that were great too - we were pleasantly surprised 😍

[@yongzhu8454]

@@ShevandDev Go to Shenzhen next door to Hong Kong, and you will find true affordability and convenience.

[@canto_v12]

@@yongzhu8454 Unfortunately it's a lot more complicated as visiting Shenzhen requires a separate visa for foreigners. But maybe they will do it next time!

[@handymann346]

Yes it is great that the MTR can get you back to the airport fast....LOL

Glad you like Hong Kong, its been my home for over 30 years

[@czeska4160]

😢just got back from hong kong. I celebrated my birthday there. I want to meet you Shev and Dev.. Love from PH

[@dons6556]

You ordered “Mala” wonton. “Ma”=numb “La”=spicy, as in hot. The numbness is due to the addition of Chinese Peppercorns which has a chemical that functions similar to topical anesthetic. Therefore, your mouth feels numb. Mala is the claim to fame for Szechuan food. Many other regions have spicy food but without the “Ma” effect. Citizens of HK, China, are extremely hard workers. Remembered a time when a typhoon just blew by, and within hours, all the shops were opened for business as usual. Amazing work ethics. HK is dear to my heart!

[@jlaurie9252]

Hong Kong is my favorite place to visit ❤ I absolutely love flying to HK! Don’t forget to visit the Peak Tram and Victoria Peak!❤❤

[@drewcorry5056]

Welcome to Hong Kong, a place I have wanted to go for a long time. How cool it is that a family member of both of you visited over 15 yrs ago. I wonder if a coke is sweet like the USA OR Tart like Tokyo. I am so sad your not spending 2 wks, ONLY 4 Days. U realize I have not visited yet, I find $$ very reasonable for ONLY those who book in advance and make plans from looking online often and seeing other visitors. You can still find hotels in Kowloon with private bathroom for under $$50.00US per night. The lights over the harbor at night look amazing. Taxi reminds me 100% from Japan. Absolutely love cheese. Loved seeing both of you take a tram for the 1ST Time. Absolutely would love to watch them make dumplings, delicious and lunch made me extremely hungry, YUM YUM. Winner for me hands down was the egg tart and absolutely love them so much. I hope you remember me and Merry Christmas To Both Of YOU. PS I am extremely far behind on your videos

[@Hannah-lr2kn]

Enjoy !!!

[@chanchan-bv6so]

Great video! You've experienced the busy vibe of Hong Kong. It would be perfect if you also check out the other sides of Hong Kong by visiting, say, Tai O (fishing village), Stanley, Sai Kung (HK's back garden), Lamma Island...

[@ShevandDev]

wish we stayed longer! 😍

[@baghabit7696]

Omg loving your video. You guys have such a good vibe. Going to check out your Taiwan videos ❤ ps. 1. In Hong Kong, Cantonese is the official language, so thank you would be “nnngoi sai” 2. HK egg tarts are based on British egg custard tarts, since HK was a former British colony. The Portuguese ones are like their cousin.

[@ShevandDev]

Ahh that’s so helpful, thank you so much 😊 hope you enjoy our Taiwan videos, we had the best time there too 😍 the egg tarts are incredibly addictive 😆

The "dud dud" sound u hear when you cross the roads in HK is tailor-made for the blind guys signifying them they can cross the road until the sound stops. It's similar to the traffic light for ordinary people.❤

[@match2012]

14:11 hkd$36 as a cup of coffee is quite common in HK, however, many citizens do not buy it oftenly, but we can spend a similar price to enjoy the HK style breakfast as follows: A bowl of noodles with egg and luncheon/ beef in satay sauce A cup of tea/milk tea/coffee Or we can spend a little bit higher with a extra bun or toast with better and ham / fried eggs.

Initially I thought you both were from the UK, pleasantly surprised when you said you’re South African. So from one South African to another….i just stumbled across your channel and really loved your video…was refreshing to watch a first impressions video this authentic. I say authentic coz it appears as if you guys had done little research before visiting HK (I don’t say this to be nasty) Hong Kong is arguably my second most favourite city in the world having visited many times in the past (jury is still out on that one as there are a few top contenders for the 2nd spot) but I wish I was there during your visit to give you guys a proper tour of that bustling city. Im not sure how much you got to see in your short stay but I wish/hope you did get to explore LKF (LAN Kwai Fong), SoHo, Kowloon, WanChai, the Peak, Big Buddha, the many rooftops, bars and clubs (all with live entertainment) and also some of the shopping malls like IFC or K11, Avenue of stars and a star ferry ride across the bay…anyway, I’ve just subscribed, look forward to following your adventurous journey. PS: my favourite city in the world (and most visited) with there not even being a close 2nd is Rio de Janeiro….think it’s time you guys head down to Brazil (after all its carnival) and if you do and want tips, please feel free to ask. Greetings from sunny Cape Town

[@latebloomerabroad]

I love it, I was supposed to go to Hong Kong last year but couldn't. I still want to go, and that food looks terrific. Teslas are designed and built where I lived for 40 years, yet I just rode in one for the first time in San Francisco after my daughter's wedding dinner. I wouldn't buy one- it was very small inside and when we went over rough roads, 2 people's heads hit the roof very hard (we're not tall either).

[@ShevandDev]

it was such an experience! But no definitely not wanting to buy one anytime soon! that sounds painful haha! we felt so futuristic 😜
