Trip to Hong Kong

March 27th, 2006

Last summer I went on a trip around the world with my family. We went to a few places but the place that stood out the most was our stop in Hong Kong. We only stayed for three days but it was enough to experience the culture and differences there. The people in Hong Kong are different to us in a number of ways, some pronounced and some more subtle. For example, they speak a different language, they have different colour skin, they have different religions to me, they have different traditional food and music. There are many more people in Hong Kong than in my country. They have a different culture and they have different tastes than I do. They can use chopsticks infinitely better than I can!129 To finish I will say that they are a very different people on the surface, but really they have more in common with me than they have differences.
