i experience the same thing when i went to china... shanghai is a nice place but the people are not as warm as other nationalities...

same thing in Hong Kong... i got lost and it took a while before i had someone talk to me and help me find my way back to the hotel... it's not the language barrier... they're just not used to the "hey! how is it goin?" atmosphere... that is with the chinese from mainland, but some people in HK know how to mingle, thanks to the british empire...

i still love hong kong though,

anyway, go to ocean park, victoria peak, avenue of the stars where you can have a good view of HK buildings and a statue of jacky chan...

wish i can go with u, enjoy!
