The city is another world compared to the months I was in Asia.
Although they are Chinese, the laws are still free trade and special ones until the return to China.
It is a city like the best in the world, everything is first class, mixed with the peoples of Asia.
Starting with where I ended up “Chungking Mansions”, it is a building with hundreds of hostels, right in the center of Kowloon, in a community of Indians.
I felt clearly at the Pagé gallery, in São Paulo, but 20 times bigger.
This building is certainly a united nations, a set of all races and colors, a mixture of Indians, Arabs, Chinese, Thai, Indonesians, etc.
It is like being in the first world and at the same time in the third world. An incredible mix. Every night there is a light show at Victoria Bay.
In the city everything works like the first world. You find everything you want, as in any city at a very good cost.
A lot of people from countries around come to shop.
I was in Kowloon, but I went for a walk across the canal. Causeway, Wan Chai who are more modern.
Hong Kong is China or not?
If you call the locals Chinese, they won’t like it very much.
They prefer Cantonese, who are people from the Guangzhou area.
There is a lot of discussion and concern about the return of Kong Kong to China around 2047, even the money in Hong Kong is different from China.
Every day, mainland China is trying to “reform” the laws, to integrate the people and the laws into the Beijing regime.
There is a lot of resistance to this.
Now it’s time to get to know China. I’m going to Guilin
