So I’ve left Hong Kong before the 7-year itch bit me. Here are 10 things I’ll miss about the territory.
1. Cantonese
2. Winter
3. Trams (or “ding ding” as the locals called it) – HK$2.30 gets you anywhere on the line in HK island.
4. Getting to the other side of the Victoria Harbour via ferry
5. Standing on the right side of the escalator
6. Street protests
7. Mini buses
8. Traditional Chinese
9. The ridiculously trivial celebrity gossips (not the feeble stuff in Singapore)
10. One country, two systems (ok, we have that too in Singapore – one for the ruling elites, one for lesser mortals)
