Quite, but not entirely unlike China

Are you going to Hong Kong for a week or two? Here's what it could be like. It's a peculiar place, full of Chinese, yet also full of dislike of Chinese and enthusiasm for everything exciting and new. They live in a small world of their own, and that world seems to be enough for most of them. Across the water, in Macau, they have neighbours that are much the same. We'll pop by there as well.

Pling Plong - Hong Kong

Hvis du noen gang setter av minst en uke til Hong Kong, får du kanskje noe sånt som dette. Det er et rart sted, fullt av kinesere som ikke liker Kina noe særlig. De liker derimot alt som er nytt og spennende. De bor i en liten verden som er nok for dem. Naboene over havet, i Macau, er av samme slaget. Vi tar en avstikker bort dit også.
