I don't remember which English writer said a lifetime is not enough to know London, though, in many of the big towns we've been to all over the world, we might have the same feeling or impression. Many think french people are so similar to the English people by their alphabet their religion their caucasian traits and still at times one might feel more at home in Thailand in Egypt or even France for some french folks.
Hong Kong reminds me of London a bit maybe Chinatown? No, rather the feeling one can have in a big town or capital, this feeling of loneliness in a high-density, hyper-crowded place.
As if an organised and geographic repartition of clans has been fenced in a way that one needs alt or pseudo keys to enter a neighbourhood to socialize. Hopefully, I'm not one of these sad fellows that stays on one side and waits to damn the world, and I've been complaining more than often when not aware of how many people around the world can be miserable because of envy, cupidity, avidity, greed, jealousy, traitors and the sleaziness of quite a few abusive powerful new rich or politics most of the time claiming to be leftist with so many good intentions for all the good reasons that in fact can be the most obsessive dominant perverts. Bastards are everywhere, I've met some, I know who they are, and they are not from Hong Kong, they would ask me to show them around, they are not from London, and we'd be happy to meet again wherever they come from. Not from Egypt, we would have a motorcycle ride into the tourist forbidden areas and smoke some apple or honey-aromated tobacco through a "narguile". Not from Australia we'd have a Victoria bitter after or during a billabong or discussing with an aboriginal chief in charge of young kids in distress on how alcohol and drugs make extreme damage to the autochthones like alcohol or fire-water did to American Indians. Hong Kong is a place like this where decades ago one sat alone at a table in a crowded wine bar enjoying some jazz trio with a coffee when one guy comes seeing a vacant chair or two around and asks if he can sit down with a few friends that will join later. Decades after, we are still close friends and are genuinely happy catching up together, that to me is Hong Kong, most people are dynamic, speedy, and serious. Not taking themselves seriously looking at their feet feeling they are on top of the world morose and sad because they know who they are and why, and they're living misery and sharing it with others. No, they are fun to be with, helpful, and cheerful and they remember where they come from, different from those pretenders liars and pimps who are pretending to be who they want to ripoff steal or even torture their own kid's parents or close ones as long as it brings something to them. Such bastards say and believe that poor and feeble or weak means thief or crook but they only were and are thieves and crooks fakes and users of fakes eating and drinking at the table.
Other shots while we were in Hong Kong having fun and enjoying our business trip not yet hacked by pseudo-alt wokists politico-religioso fighting for causes that will only serve them groupuscules of rotten and inhuman vampires sending their own children to overthrow the Kingdom of Thailand and France democracy by Franco-Thai international criminal mafia and organised crooks, children and mothers bloodsuckers.
We love and recommend Hong Kong for travelling, business, tourism or as a step to China!.. for a week or for more
and we love Thailand too.. and France too.. and England too..
but no way honey, not these people selling or buying themselves, people we despise, abusing trading stealing/buying/selling people and kids like masters and servants or slaves they are cannibal or carnivorous blood-liking wasps or mosquitoes killing and replacing the bees but never ever will be able to comprehend or even build something like a hive or multiplying the essence of nature we owe life to. :-)
