Hong Kong's situation is somewhat similar to Shanghai's. Foreigners and international travelers are few. The living quality of the local citizens doesn't rely on them, but this might be a sign of a broader economic downturn. It's a great video! It helped me get to know the city before actually traveling there. Maybe because Mr. G lives in Japan, the food in Hong Kong is quite easy to find in Shanghai. It feels very familiar to me.
@@JapanTravelVlogMrG You are right. I remember 1997 in Cupertino, CA. $4.99 at the Ranch 99 Supermarket includes 3 items and a soup. Now, fast forward to 2023, in my local Chinese super market, $9.99 get you 3 items, cash only. Of course, when you account for 25 years of inflation, it is expected.
