When asked why I want to move back to Hong Kong here are just a few of my reasons:
Anyone in Hong Kong can own a Mercedez or a BMW but only the super rich and exclusive can afford a golf cart. (No I didn't have a golf cart and was friends with only one family that did have one)
Your kids know what a lawn mower looks and sounds like. (Indiana looking down on our neighbors garden)
Half your block works for Cathay Pacific Airlines.
You know your pilot on a first name basis (he happens to be your neighbor see garden above and apartment above).
Your friends all say "Hong Kong that's part of Japan right?"
You think everything can be purchased with your Octopus card.
You want to find the guy who complained about the hire cars to the HKTD and personally string him up to the highest tree. (hire cars will take you from door to door to any location within the community and allow dogs perfect for vet visits or if you are sick and just can't deal with the bus or walk to the doctor)
You can look out your window and see the fireworks from Hong Kong Disney.
The big commotion outside your door are the two dogs who are playing together.
There are more DOGS then cars (oh wait I mean golf carts).
What Circle K and 7-11 aren't on every block back home?
There is traffic jam on the main road because there are three golf carts in front of the bus.
Chianti is not what you are serving your guests with dinner. (Chianti are the towers in the background of the picture)
The designer messed up and put pool chairs behind the infinity pool so you think you are going to swim straight into a chair instead of the harbor. (Wait that might be a good thing 'cause who would want to swim in the harbor anyway.) The metal structure in the background is the new school which was being build while we were there)
Park and Rot (Shop) is the only option. Your not sure why TASTE didn't open in the Water Margin. Maybe they thought it would be a good excuse to make Dbay residents go to Tung Chung and spend even more money.
You are told there are 500 golf cart permits for the community but there are only 487 registered.
Your friends ask if you speak Japanese and you correct them saying Chinese. But no English is an official language of Hong Kong.
The SARs are Hong Kong and Macau. (Special Administration Regions)
