I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia. It is my goal here on the channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see many tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.

Welcome to Hong Kong !!!!! As a Hongkonger, I am so glad that you want to learn Cantonese. Have a nice trip!

[@KenAbroad]

Thank you 😊

[@georgeko5795]

I am glad you enjoyed your first day/night here in Hong Kong! There are a lot of places to visit and explore here ... I love your courage to explore the non-city center parts of Hong Kong. It's more authentic and I hope you have a wonderful time here. 😃

[@KenAbroad]

I already released Videos from some outskirts in Hong Kong 🙏 thank you 👍😊

[@eat.live.travel]

Great to see this video! I used to live in HK years ago. Before the pandemic, I would stop over there every year on the way to Malaysia. I miss visiting the city, but unfortunately there are so few flights via HK now and what is available is ridiculously expensive.

[@GoogleUser-td1ic]

Your reactions in HK are hilarious. You are a friendly guy, and it draws a lot of positive reactions. Good for you. I, too, always have problems crossing the other side of the road in HK because I'm always met with fences. By the way, my sister is married to a German. Enjoy your visit in HK.

[@cathyhaynes154]

Love Hong Kong ! So much to see! Great transportation system!

[@yvonnetresidder9171]

You are really are a great traveller, so calm, I would be as nervous as hell.enjoy Hong Kong and stay safe.

[@chaw294]

An experienced traveller like you will not face any/much problems in a new country. Thanks for sharing the smooth flight, the wonderful subway ride and your hotel room. Never know that corner hotel room is one of the best...away from the noises, good tip, Ken. Yeah, you will be hearing lots of Cantonese and eating lots of Cantonese food there. Wow, those char siew which come in lean and fatty parts, look very juicy indeed. That plate of choy sam ( veggies ) is yum yum too. Lots of oil and garlics are used, that's why you can see the veggies look shiny. Great that you have a yummilicious dinner. Another interesting video with amazing content. "Doh Jeh" Ken. Sometimes "Mm Goy" can also be used ( Both mean thanks ) Can't wait for your next Hong Kong adventures.

[@BL-161]

Just stumbled across your channel, and I must say you are such a positive and nice tourist. A lot of Western tourists have no desire to learn the local language and some do not respect the local customs, in this case wearing the face masks but you are perfectly accepting and understanding of this, bravo!

[@TuckLChan]

Great that you are in Hong Kong. It is a city I have visited frequently for the past 10 years and love the food and transport system immensely. Transport by busses and MRT is cheap compared to the western world. Taxis are a little dearer but still affordable and convenient. Food is great and most convenient. I would recommend you try a few other places which offer cheap delicious food for the common Hong Kongers such as Cafe De Coral, Maxim and Fairwood. These are food chains but serving authentic local cuisine also sometimes with a bit of fusion of South East Asia and Japan in some dishes. The menu changes every now and then and they are located everywhere. Just google these food chains. Don't leave Hong Kong till you try the milk tea, a much localised version of the English tea, probably alike the tea-tarik in Malaysia with a twist. Do enjoy your stay there. I shall follow your every video on Hong Kong most attentively.

[@craigb2644]

Nice haircut Ken. All the best in Hong-Kong 🎉

[@RonE_UK]

Stumbled across your video. As soon as you pointed out you needed to go to Tai Wo Hau station I guessed you would be staying at the Dorsett. I stayed there twice prior to Covid and prices were much cheaper than hotels in the city. Also you might have gathered by now that as soon as you exit Tai Wo Hai MTR station you should cross the footbridge to the other side then walk to the hotel. When I was watching your video I was shouting use the footbridge behind you 😂

[@kwunnokmimiman5523]

Hi Ken, in Hong Kong, people usually walk on overhead footbridges instead of on the sidewalk next to the roads. :D

[@skchan2]

Great and welcome to HK. 13:37 Sorry to say that you should cross with this foot bridge you are looking back, the you can reach the Hotel in 10 mins. (20mins walk from here can reach my home 😂)

[@mysmartieteevee3036]

Another local delight is Hong Kong milk tea. A drink invented during the colonial days and is considered the quintessential drink of Hong Kong with a very unique recipe. Sipping it hot at breakfast in the chilly weather overlooking the harbour is a superb experience....

[@ongnancy1840]

Ken might not be a professional, I don't know if KZbinrs are considered professionals, but damn he makes great content and it is good to see how a real person enters a country and the things they have to deal with, rather than someone who has it all planned by assistants etc, Hope you keep it as it is Ken, cos your style is very entertaining to watch.

Welcome to Hong Kong and had great experience. ☺☺ You've chosen a good place to stay in Tai Wor Hou, the transportation is convenience to go everywhere in HK. Enjoy😎

[@nikserof2183]

Nice video, Ken. I'm glad that the cafe people were relatively friendly to you 🙂. 30:37 Re Cantonese, if not done so already, you might want to ask someone to teach you the two different ways to say "Thanks" in Cantonese. I was recently back in HK; if you had been there at the same time, I would have taken you out for a meal and some exploring. 🙂

[@SoonHengTan-wt9gi]

Ken thanks for the video. Funny that they make the disabled people walk all the to the corner. Disabled people room should be near the lift.

[@ericamary6778]

The char siu looked so good!

[@johnnyyu68927]

Hi Ken~ very nice heard that you like the Cha Siu very much~ In Cantonese the term of "Cha" means the fork, and the term of "Siu" means BBQ or Burn~ combined the 2 words together this means you put a pork or some kinds of meat through the fork and put it on the fire to toasted~

[@Dashky]

What an experience in Hong Kong... I'm one of the Chinese in Penang, Malaysia... Never been to Hong Kong... 👋😊🇲🇾

[@hazyap3822]

Hi Ken, enjoy your stay in Hong Kong. I've just got back from HK a week ago after a 5 day foodie trail. Buy an Octopus card from the MTR station for your public transportation purpose. Roast goose is popular in HK, I recommend Kam's Roast Goose in Wanchai but be there early before 7 pm if you want to dine in. Dim sum, wanton noodle, beef noodle, many kinds of tong sui (sweet broth), pastries eg. egg tart are some of HK famous food. Of course there are many more yummy food. HK is indeed a food paradise but rather expensive.

Hi Ken, welcome to Hong Kong. If you have time, you can go to Shing Mun Reservoir near Tsuen Wan has beautiful scene and a lot of wild monkeys. Enjoy and have fun.

Get an octopus card! It will make your life so much easier.

[@lumandrew]

I just returned from Hong Kong last month, having spent a month there living as a native. The MTR & other transportation system are one of the best in the world. They are efficient & on time. We had no problem going to unknown places. Great experience!

[@derrickleow]

Get the octopus card and you can use for your public transports and some stalls actually use the card for payment. HK can be travelled with public transports no need much for taxi

[@SparkySenor]

I hope you get to explore more of Vietnam soon but I'm excited to watch your travels in Hong Kong too. My arrival was quite late in the evening via bus to Nathan Road at Tsim Sha Tsui where my hotel was located and there were 10s of people all trying to haggle for my business when I got off the bus but I already had my hotel booked so was able to get away free. The room was so tiny, it was humid and the air con kept me awake. My first meal was a Pizza Hut, so you did much better than I. After a few days, I moved to Wan Chai/Central and got a hotel that was under refurbishment (they were still working on the lower floors so I got a beautiful room at a discounted price in a great location. I went on a trip to Macau and simply loved it, to see the Portuguese influence with Chinese characters was fascinating. I really enjoyed my trip to Hong Kong, and I'm sure you will too. My trip to the Tian Tan Buddha was fantastic. It's so wonderful to watch you interact with the locals, always with a smile 😀

[@AlexSDU]

10:45 Grew up in the 1980's watching HK movies & drama, I can confirm that the announcer was talking in Cantonese.😅 13:12 There's a crossing bridge right behind you. Is it closed for pedestrian? 16:25 Personally I like hotel room for disability people, because the bathroom usually more spacious than the regular room's bathroom.

[@elysisia]

welcome to hk!! i’m a little late but in case you didn’t figure it out yet, you don’t have to keep buying the train tickets one by one, you press the station you want to go to, in your case you can just press Tai Wo Hau instead of leaving the train and buying a ticket again at Tsing Yi and Lai King, the prices change depending on the station you are in based on distance to compensate!

[@shameelibrahim7431]

Plus, he should get an Octopus card to make his life a bit easier. The customer service guys should’ve told him.

[@yuetkawong3531]

Wow, you choose a district that's not popular, but that's a really local district in hk.

you should went back to the station when you can't cross the road, I ve come across with this sometimes also. Next time make sure to check the right exit first, should be in google map as well

[@82911]

Welcome to Hong Kong, 👍👍I come from Hong Kong😀🙂

[@Zergcerebrates]

There was a pedestrian bridge right behind you when you exited the MTR station. You should’ve taken the elevator up and walk across the other side there.

[@ansonlo5571]

Normal flight time fromHanoi to HK is two hours somethings. But Vietnam is an hour behind HK, thetefore it seems yr arrival time is 3 hrs

[@eagol]

Also just my 2 cents opinion and it may not be vital to you. I travel a lot and for me the corner rooms are to be avoided. I have a few experiences that these rooms have higher chances to have "uninvited friends". As far as I can remember I've experienced it in 3 places, Haikou in China, Phnom Penh in Cambodia and Tokyo in Japan. Exactly the same reason with yours, these "friends" do not like noise and be disturbed too. That's why they also have the same preferences as you. I learnt this from my wife and she's working in the hotel business, that's why most of the hotel staff will ring the door bell or a few light knocks on the door before they open the door as a kind of respect even 100% they know it's an vacant room.

[@nenitareyes6618]

Welcome to HK... please enjoy your stay here❤🙏 Keep safe po...

[@KenAbroad]

Thank you 😊

[@halyyee]

Oh my god, sorry to see you walked a wrong way to the hotel, there is a foot-bridge nearby/behind Tai Wo Hau Station Exit B, 12:54 you should take that at very first in order to across the road to the opposite side. recently it is under re-construction so it makes people confused to find the way😢 I know it’s too late to tell you but if anyone here will come to HK and stay in that hotel, please notice it, the right way only takes 8-9 minutes.

[@ZQQHello1919rty]

[@AuntyJack123]

Great to see a new country especially one we don't see many vloggers. Perhaps you can check mask rules before you enter a new country. Perhaps your videos are very delayed to come out but all mask rules ended in Hong Kong on 1.03.2023. I think it's only required in hospitals. Oh that first meal looks delicious

[@CSChua]

At equivalent of hk100 you can have way better char Siew pork rice in Malaysia. Just saying.

[@kriscrow2117]

So funny that you completely missed the foot bridge that you could have crossed the road with at the 12:54 point of the video

[@Timmie360]

The whole street-crossing thing was unfortunate. You actually walked passed the stairs to the crossing bridge literally when you started trying to figure out how to cross.

[@khueminh7167]

Whish you all the best in the future

[@booaks2980]

You're definitely going to stumble upon a lot of familiar foods that you ate before in Malaysia, since Malaysian Chinese migrated from southern China which includes Hong Kong, therefore, you'll be seeing foods that are in Hong Kong but also in some parts of Malaysia, such as dim sum, chao siew bao, char siew, roast pork etc. Of course, Hong Kong's one is more authentic

Sorry for my honest responding to you comment "Stressful Arrival in HK". You're not so smart in using Google Map. Your got the Exit right (B Exit) and there's a bridge already for you to go to the other side of the road. That road is a main road linking Kowloon city centre and the new developed areas in the New Territories ( in fact the MTR station where you filming was consider NT during my childhood ). If you notice the traffic was heavy and speed was high, there must be some ways to cross the road, but you missed it. @13:07 it's right behind you.
