Surviving in the City That Never Sleeps : Hong Kong

[@Sktang17]

it’s a harbour. Not a river

[@Pinky2-er8hi]

Welcome to Hong Kong and hope you enjoy your stay here

[@derekhysteric]

HK is not little SZ... they copied us. Welcome to our home and Great video btw ;)

[@snowmanckh]

How come Hong Kong became 'Mini Shenzhen'?!!😂😂

[@chocoluvluv]

As a local of HK I can only hear ppl saying SZ a mini HK before

[@GeorgeHuxleyF]

Ah thanks for correcting me, I got the two mixed up, thanks 👍

[@derekhysteric]

@ that is correct

[@erzheng43]

​@KazzFinance dont worry your mix up momery. welcome to hk. But your impression may correct due to big change of hk😂

[@terryfong9110]

The other side of the river? That is a sea!

[@joegor27822]

Kazz thx for sharing 😊

[@11890610]

You deserve more subscribers your HK video pretty good and very much in details too well done 👍🏻

[@GeorgeHuxleyF]

Thank you!

[@willzento]

Love your videos and you did your research and know a lot about Hong Kong. You did really well as a traveller. I love it and don’t get discouraged by internet trolls. Keep up the good works. Love your perspective! 🫰💛🙏

[@GeorgeHuxleyF]

Awesome thank you!

[@jameslim3850]

George, Please come to Singapore and do a review so people can see the difference and uniqueness of both Hong Kong and Singapore :)

[@GeorgeHuxleyF]

I will do!

[@paulpaullee]

Beautiful Hong Kong~~~

[@nihilisticprophet6985]

Absolutely nobody calls it mini shen Zhen. That’s like calling Spain a mini Portugal

This was an enjoyable intro to Hong Kong. I wonder if the food and metro apps were pre-pandemic? I barely scratched the surface, even when visiting for 2 weeks. In 2017, the hostel that I stayed at did a hike along the Dragon’s Back Trail (SE HK Isle), which gives great natural views and then goes down to a village with a beach at the end. Also, there is a book called something like “Cities Without Ground: Hong Kong” that shows maps of MTR station entrances, etc. Money is another adventure. I wish I brought more cash with me because filling up / buying the MTR Octopus Card or buying from many stores were cash only when I went. I also am not sure if I knew what I spent on food during my stay because I am a novice at currency conversion. FYI, I think the audio goes out of synch from 26:22 to 27:13.

[@GeorgeHuxleyF]

Awesome thanks for letting me know not sure what happened with the audio there Also yes I think the food and metro apps were around before the pandemic but not as big as they are today Most places now accept octopus card as well as cash! Glad you enjoyed the vid 👍

[@hellowingy]

We have more countrysides and beaches than you knew. And the highest point you can view HK is Victoria Garden above the Peak Mall

[@karpocheung8432]

Welcome to Hong Kong The "red fruit" is call "Wax Apples". . . . Try them, they're tasty 😋

[@GeorgeHuxleyF]

Ah thanks for letting me know !

[@kentllee]

Really enjoyed your video. HK is a fascinating place with lots to discover. I think your haggling skills could improve as you can always get 50% of the asking price, it’s all part of the fun. It’s really expensive to live in HK due to rental costs but eating out can be reasonable if you know the right places, just look for the queues of locals and you won’t go far wrong! Keep making your vids 👍

[@Ct82657]

I enjoyed watching the video. Hope you come back to Hong Kong and make another soon 😊

[@GeorgeHuxleyF]

Thank you, make sure to check out my next video in South Korea 🇰🇷 soon !

[@Ct82657]

@@GeorgeHuxleyF for sure!

[@MCRacing-yg2to]

25:01 Actually you were in a street called "金魚街", which means Goldfish Street, in Mong Kok. So that is why there are many stores selling fish and related stuff BTW, as a local, it is always interesting to see HK in a tourist prespective. Incredible job mate

[@GeorgeHuxleyF]

Ah that’s very interesting, it was awesome to see all those fishes, in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 selling fishes like that was banned many years ago Thanks! 👍

[@AbbasKhadra]

love the video , keep it up

[@rh1668]

Who calls Hk mini Shenzhen that’s like calling London Manchester of the South

The AC dripping on me is the bane of my existence.

[@chocoluvluv]

For aquarium demands, as Chinese uses aquarium as one of the feng shui items, of course we are East Asian many people really likes to pet fishes, and reptiles pets are also welcome by us.

[@GeorgeHuxleyF]

Great thanks for explaining 👍 it’s all new to me

[@TheMisterteddybear]

Hongkongers generally don't spit and wear masks if they're sick. Most people who spit on the street here are Chinese tourists. Also, the Star Ferry can't take you across any river; it takes you across Victoria Harbour. The thing you mentioned about the financial center spreading from West Kowloon (which was reclaimed only two decades ago) to Hong Kong Island is also far from accurate. And FYI, both the ladies' market and temple street market target tourists who want to buy cheap (and low quality) goods. I don't think there's much for locals in those markets

[@GeorgeHuxleyF]

Ah thanks for educating me on that, from my understanding the sky 100 building was the IFC 1 and the other one in central was IFC 2 but I may have been misinformed Thanks for clearing that up 👍

[@Sdopson]

@@GeorgeHuxleyF ifc 1 & 2 are right to each other on HK Island, the kowloon one is called ICC.

[@probb9385]

Welcome to Hong Kong🎉

[@imacat8476]

keep them coming, people are watching, enjoying it. You talk in a lot of depth about things, Though you often point the camera at yourself, it'd be good to show the environment around you, let viewers experience a bit of what youre describing.

[@GeorgeHuxleyF]

Awesome thank you, will keep that in mind in future vids 👍

[@kathylmtam]

Welcome to Hong Kong. Enjoy staying.

[@nutrino75]

"its so hot here, kind of reminds me of london...."

[@HongKongSeeEatShop]

Coke Plus isn’t Coke Zero. Coke Zero is also available in HK. Coke Plus has dietary fibre added, although it also contains no sugar.

[@likecc]

London is a mini Hongkong also😊

[@bryanlee3337]

WELCOME TO HK

[@enoch1087]

Actually, Western food in Hong Kong should be quite good. The restaurant you dislike probably values dining environment a lot over food quality. Btw, thx for sharing.😆

[@GeorgeHuxleyF]

Yes I did have some good western food, I think it was just that place 👍

[@theallochan]

Those fishes are pets.

[@user-friended]

Who told you that Hong Kong is little Shenzhen ?

[@Chim283]

Let's check the price of our properties. You won't say it's cheap to live here.

[@GeorgeHuxleyF]

Yes true property is expensive, I was referring to the price of food is cheaper than London 👍

[@Chim283]

@KazzFinance I would agree that for visitors 🤔 normally a 300 sq ft flat in HK is around 6m hkd.

[@BonnieSKC]

Thanks for liking my HK.

[@Jade5-s7z]

​yes that's true , food and transport is really cheaper than London @@GeorgeHuxleyF
