4 years in Beijing, read the book, 2 years working in Shenzhen, the United States spent studying the work of 8 years plus, after 10 years working in Hong Kong.
Understanding of Hong Kong in accordance with the order from light to dark to write it:
1.
language first came to Hong Kong, this is my first strong impression:
here is basically Cantonese, English and Mandarin is still OK, I used to listen to when not many would say. I used to walk down the street to speak Mandarin would be illegal discrimination over, they are very admire you for the English, that it is no wonder Xianpinaifu the bad habits of human beings.
many of them speak the language, manner, word order are learning basic English. For example: You buy things, domestic general is that what you want, but here is the President, what can help you, in fact, can i help you on the direct translation. Another example is the many foreign words and even the direct use of the English translation of the word instead. some very standard translation of the word, read out and no stress, such as store and more persons they called, I store a long time until I have is a transliteration, so talk to them shall not do not convert to convert to English and Chinese, many, many examples of this.
out that they are basically natural science is in English, teaching literature courses in Chinese, so they have English proficiency is also OK, communication is no problem too, but very hard to accept too many people in English accent was too heavy, that it is still very difficult to listen to fluent, but does not prevent the exchange to see if they sound so different from people in India Asan quite proud of, huh, huh.
here will basically no problem living in English, that you will be educated in English, but sometimes still have to learn some Cantonese here if you want to mix it, because the people of Hong Kong or Cantonese basic internal communication.
2. urban health and transport
A typical Western mixed international metropolis, urban area is very clean, no dust, do not rub the basic shoes. Later I found the brother of commonly used high-pressure water cleaning regardless of the cost of the red, can not clean thing. urban trash and wear EPA vests were everywhere, people are hurrying past the basic no time taking out the trash, but did not dare to lose, a fine of 5000 lost, this used to it.
other side of the city often care: railings ah, roads, ah, ah tall, flowers and ah, have the system requirements will care once every time, so the house looks quite new.
traffic is very convenient, a lot of international routes and not expensive. basically a small indoor traffic Bus and subway, subway to anywhere in Canada or the bus trip to get light, transportation fees are not expensive. MTR heard for a long time did not rise, the other as if there is a tram ride is 2 yuan casual (not done), do was embarrassed to take people to worry about running their business or run their own price increases do not continue. here is not your car, but you keep a car, it is also more than the middle class have cars, because the cost of many. a parking fee I month have to spend nearly 2500, with oil money and insurance before 5000 scored almost a month ago, so many people are using public transport travel.
road is very narrow, traffic lights, small, but very little traffic jam, we drove it blocks This and the United States and Singapore, some classes again. does not mean that Hong Kong pedestrians do not stop, car will not run a red light, people I have seen cases, no car may break. but most of the people is the car, I was impressed is I once wore a community, about 10 meters I saw was like a car, I stopped waiting for him before, he stopped to wait for me before, I said a meeting with the passed.
rare bike a bit unhappy, I actually like riding a bike, some free.
Then there is life, health, education, legal system, after slowly write it, not how to think, free to write, some random, please Haihan continued to write, some estimates not necessarily accurate, may not how to observe a relationship between their own right. wrong place, please correct.
3. fast-paced life of big city life
are each fast-paced, and everyone's nerves have been stretched too tight, life is stressful. subways, light is often seen carrying a lot of people see things in the report information is estimated to be dry in the work of finishing it today.
many office workers are simply not Time your cooking. often called the take-away and go to cafes to eat, but often at noon, when many people are busy take-away brothers, the location of the restaurant did not do so on their own can not afford, so I often go to buy some fast food Eurya own (take away).
5 half days a week office hours, and now some into day weekend, but no change in working hours a week or 40 hours. but the work time is very busy, because you will be pushed forward across the company the customer and the boss will see you as professionals, working under pressure. There are a lot of things after work needs to be charged, many people are in the repair and test certificate degree. The most direct example is: With China's strong , Mandarin became popular, a very short time we have a Mandarin improve this and their hard work is inseparable. Here there are many start-Shanghai dialect, Hokkien these lessons, many people are learning French and Japanese, sometimes quite admire their learning momentum. I used to have my colleagues and I speak English, but also, and I said a few days ago, and he speaks Mandarin since he wants to learn Mandarin. But the exchange is indeed too difficult, then he reported to classes to learn Mandarin, I know is that he also consider two other certificates, so I asked: baa also gives you the life ah Gamble? (What makes you so hard to learn?) gave the answer: do not learn to Aozuo the (do not learn to keep up era).
This makes me very popular with feeling a sense of crisis, why do people put themselves so tired, even to learn that kind of work did not use, also asked several other people, but essentially a tone: others are in school, you do not pedantic behind the times.
4. housing
poor housing conditions, this is my review of Hong Kong. Do not look at public toilets and Exhibition Centre Street so much, it is your own house small, basically pigeon. usually 50-60 square meters large house, but you can not imagine how many can be separated into. 2 bedrooms and one room? not, they are often separated into 3 bedrooms or 4 bedrooms, more powerful live 3 -4 households (not 3-4 individuals), so they are strong use of space, many of which are double bed, space is fully utilized: the bed has Tizi, there are simple bed, usually put away the evening under way. outside activities, they often only come home to sleep. But more than put it a bit extreme, but most people usually buy a house before marriage, otherwise they will not get married, so many Hong Kong people are getting married late.
but the house is very expensive, so most of the brothers had to do a good job for many years to buy a house, but about 5 million of income in accordance with (middle), two more than 500 million people buy a house okay. but only a low-income people buy dreams, so many people are renting or live in tenement buildings together (not the window of the old house in poor condition). but the Government public housing, those families earning less than a certain number (not clear how much, because he certainly does not apply so there is no find out) who can line up to apply, very cheap. This is also a protection against low-yielding right of those.
see that the hundreds of continental or even 200 square meters 100 square meters of the house is feeling, I still lived in more than 60 square meters of houses, SARS buy, mortgage, 1.5 million a month is also okay, but now have gone up a lot.
5. medical
and Canadian side of the medical condition is similar to using a family doctor + method of large hospitals. ailment general basic family heard in the community get there, hit some big disease that only go to large hospitals, so you will find a large hospital is not as domestic as always a lot of people, many hospitals . because of the diversion of
your family doctor can not be fired if we look at diagnosis, go to line up a big hospital, the hospital will be based on your listing severity. If it is urgent to begin immediately, if it is chronic or major surgery (cardiac surgery, etc.) have to wait. This is not good, for example, you are appendicitis, ah, well. immediately by surgery, room and board at the hospital, hand care, the price is like 100 a day. If you are a chronic disease, such as nephritis, hepatitis, miserable, waiting queue. a few months to one year.
but you can go to private hospital money, and soon, no matter what the disease does not require such, but expensive. So Many people want God to save money so can not afford to go to Shenzhen to see. But I think Hong Kong was a very good medical ethics, that is, they are the true experience of the patient. For example:
I have a straight itching, the Cana. hung emergency, the doctor looked at, said: two mild prescribed some medicine back (all drugs work in hospitals are free, except for some specific drugs), and then to waiting, to come back in six months Look. ft. But medicine did not finish the next one but I called a lesson, explain the source of the disease, what to my attention. asked what my family is not genetic or something, and strongly What persuaded to make a check, that check is more expensive (free), he said: I want to responsible for you, you are a minor illness, treatment sounds simple, less expensive, does not suffer, after the big money, but also sad, wasted money our government money, so we will be responsible for the patient. say I quite impressed.
better health care in Hong Kong, or Hong Kong, the global average life expectancy will not be ranked first, second, the. but also to other defects, but not always less than the demand for resource.
6.
side of education for school education is free education, but have to pay for books, but not too much like a term of more than 2000 ( Hong Kong is more expensive book). but people are sending money to private or foreign school, it takes on a big, full down (from primary to university has been in private) is estimated to be 300-400 million. There are several of the university, known for University of Hong Kong, Chinese, Science and Technology, Polytechnic, City these few, Hong Kong's transition rate is not high, almost 30% of the people can go to university. college tuition is expensive, seems to be over 40,000 a year, so the three-year study down the cost a lot, but our children a strong independent spirit, a lot of people make money part-time summer vacation, the other to provide loans so the government can be admitted to the can not afford on their own and will not read the book, out of work, wage levels are a result of professional vary, but there should be 11-1.2 million starting salary of about 40,000 can get a good professional, and I heard the Chinese University to get over a million a year, and very powerful.
7. the Government < br> Speaking of the government I had to sigh about, I think the Hong Kong Government, Hong Kong's civil service is very clean and for the tangible things.
students in Hong Kong's civil servants were selected from the need to test, go after the training and brainwashing: service first, integrity first, efficiency first.
Hong Kong law, every person to take money from the government (not just civil servants) (equivalent to our government funding and institutions), can not accept more than any gift, if it is found immediately fired squid.
run inside a separate Independent Commission Against Corruption, in Tsim Sha Tsui, where there are staring at all the government officials, if found any reports will be investigated in the end, due to corruption cost is too high, so basically not civil servants do not clean. the attitude of the public good, because if they will write a report to be complaints, but also seriously affect their promotion.
do you say in general in Hong Kong Civil Service does not require a high level to two: the spirit of service and integrity. but those who rise up in the civil service can be said is tempered, there is no trace of stain, or simply can not rise up.
government and the people can be close contact, community Members, you can put your views reflected in his, he will give you reflect, with the media will report, so I find it a very small city, that those who speak are neighbors, your voice can also be considered very good.
I first went to Hong Kong and the government is running a deal with identity card, which according to many times on camera, sometimes I feel very sorry, this man said: We just do this, your satisfaction, we happy, huh, huh. In the process I do is sitting across from him, told me the whole process a lot of sentences, then I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
There is also a time when I hit the car down a package, immediately call 999 the police, immediately to the man and a woman, carefully made a record and directly call the rental company, by calling all drivers finally found my bag. The whole process seems like this is a big nothing , and made me very embarrassed, but fortunately, others did not say I wasted manpower. get the package after the sentence actually said to me: take the mean, you wait for Gan-resistant. (sorry, make you wait so long). I not good intentions kept saying: Thank You plug, Please post also said that Cyprus can give a lift .. send me home, declined.
in Hong Kong feel that you meet any urgent things to hit 999. lots of phone calls did not get live, a trouble to think of this phone, huh
said the government I say something more, because I think some of China's many local government workers need to learn from Hong Kong.
the service sector in the Hong Kong Government, is the punching bag. a lot of things were not handled, whose responsibility? government, the Chief Executive's always on TV to apologize. SARS, ah, ah the financial crisis, high unemployment, ah, the air worse, ah, ah, and so the boss man in arrears, the Government Stop apologizing.
No Apologies, but useful, must have a way ah.'ll have some policies so often ask people is not good to know people cheat, the media is not good to fool nature.
example, the Labour Department , responsible for employment. They will be published every month the unemployment rate, the actual unemployment rate is very low, only about 4%, which also includes a lot of people are not looking for work. unemployment rate a liter, and immediately began to grievances, so They began to apologize, and then organize large-scale recruitment will solve the employment problem. There are many free job advice, practical point of view I look for a job they are nothing, the unemployment rate so low is not difficult to find a job, engage in training worthwhile thing, wasting our have taxes.
Oh, but I quite do not see a group of Hong Kong view of the anti-government advocates, whether they are right or wrong, anyway, and the Government against, the Government said that a good or bad, he said, the government said that a good or bad, he said, but there these opponents also good: Well some other sound.
8. Cultural
I have nothing to say about this, because this thing needs feelings and pondering, I can write this level of depth of water hanging point account also the line. But you can not not be silent hash a whole.
Hong Kong is a place where East meets West, there is Christianity, Catholicism, Islam, of course, Buddhism, Taoism, are each taught many disciples. there are Chinese and western architectural styles, food is heaven, the characteristics of the style around the world can be found, although some have been modified.
every year, many art shows, opera is very popular, and of course a lot of pop songs, but I want to say is not that. I'm just in my daily contact with some of the things to look at the problem.
language in Hong Kong is really a mess, there is no syntax to speak of what so many magazines there are many typos, they care about is the correct pronunciation; other gossip definitely more than any other news, Hong Kong people yearning for the stars so I can not imagine. but they by no means blind Starchaser, they still have some appreciation that so many people enjoy going to the show is the purpose of holding to see, but they just worship stars, mainly the kind of life they aspire to it. So those TVB drama is old-fashioned: the basic-rich son (or Miss) and the love story of ordinary people.
each time you open the newspaper , headlines are often the star of the gossip press, then what is the constellation ah, beauty ah, investment banking, ah, ah supermarket price cuts, the last message to the Chief Executive,
listening to the radio every time it, alas, are some not arbitrary depth of the first. or those domestic Emperor Kangxi, the Three Kingdoms beautiful. Hong Kong, few intellectuals to write prose, many of which I know is hung like a running account, typos Lianpian people, hehe. not free to engage in those thing, too, so often the wrong type, bear with me.
culture that I feel like I really colorful Chinese culture. a lot of popular culture in Hong Kong.
9.
impression of Hong Kong, Hong Kong people's quality is uneven, I actually discovered that the station has reported many times: someone in the public swimming pool stools, nausea, right enough.
However, most people's quality is still relatively high, I do not say anything here, the quality of it, I civic-minded to talk about it. Hong Kong, most people here, there is a recognition within the heart, and that is myself not to disturb others.
make out in the elevator on the side of people in need quickly through with large luggage will sit bus or taxi rather than get into light, redemption coupons or do anything else will take the initiative in the queue, even if only two people out walking the dog will consciously take a good side do not pick up a bag of dog ... .
Also I found that in public they will consciously or unconsciously, the note that she has no one else around to see their ever do this for the sake of others I feel very good.
in Hong Kong, you will see a lot of public service ads , there are many donations, there are a lot of volunteers, donations of Hong Kong to mainland China have a lot. Hong Kong for a talk about China, full of compassion, many of them will go to donations, a few days ago my colleague, the Northwest school children also donated 1,000 pieces, She only had time to take the subway to see an advertisement, a note of that telephone, direct bank several passed.
a lot of people think Hong Kong people look down on people from the mainland, in fact, and there are a number of reasons. On the one hand was the Cultural Revolution significant influence. On the other hand a lot of friends did not so lovely continent, such as through Hong Kong, Hong Kong people here have children is very offensive.
10. Hong Kong, Hong Kong is a woman
pragmatic place. Here no What things are there for the most feasible and perhaps Grandpa Deng is a good practical interpretation of it.
you look at Hong Kong girl's dress to see what is real, and they generally do not have any fancy dress costumes, color gorgeous, the usual basic clothing to Grey, white and black colors that the main visual impact is very small. but on closer inspection they found very stylish, with a lot of skirt and jacket seemed so casual, but wear look in your eyes so decent. wear very little shoe Kogan, maybe they're looking for a comfortable and reserved it.
will make almost every girl, so it looks like everyone's skin is very good, but you have to admire this woman was under the Hong Kong smart, they are to take advantage of discounts and special offers brand-name stores to buy things, to find sense of life in Hong Kong women do not need to worry about my wife, huh, huh.
they are real, so it is picking, Hong Kong would have less to women more than men (I do not know why girls high birth rate), so you win a lot of woman are married Granville.
11. integrity
this is serious in Hong Kong to see so many shops the right, as long as the formal shops will not deceive you. If she said that this is Australia's imports, it must be where the imports, saying this is that Japan will not deceive you, said that the demolition of large stores the last three days sale, it must be 3 days, not as domestic as if every day is the last day.
because if people find that there is no real shops, shops not only a full refund, more importantly, will cast a lot of credit crisis Hong Kong's real small, a reported transfer of these materials very quickly, the shops were estimated to have nothing to patronize.
remember one time I ordered a stock phone, and said 2 weeks get the results that day to go out of stock, an apology , the explanation for a long time: Due to shipping delays, not the arrival. then compensation for the Pokka my 400 vouchers as compensation, and did not deny the call wrong, I do not know is not he answered the phone. so every time to see so many people on the horizon scolding js, where many shops that we need to improve.
does not mean that there is no fraud in Hong Kong, Hong Kong law and order good, but a liar a lot. You succeed by chance often harassment, said to be a basic first survey the situation and then you have to ask to see your new or easy to cheat, they begin to lie to you, but will send you a contract, you look carefully you will find contract and his writing is not blowing Like, if you fill out, you fools, not to say a loss.
so in Hong Kong, carefully read the key points, and other unnecessary worry too much about being cheated.
12. Entertainment
each city Entertainment had to say. Hong Kong, many different types of entertainment, you have the money to horse racing, golf, sailing, hunting, you can fly to Italy to Japan to eat pasta and hot springs. you have no money for hiking (hiking), slip dogs, sing k, beach swimming, camping (many of our mountains and the sea), you can see the public performances, all museums have programs, of course, shopping malls can also be easily.
eating the above, ordinary people still have places of consumption , street food, cheap food stalls, but on the more expensive high-end restaurants, general 200 a person should also visit. and then eat some high-end seafood from the pick, get almost 400 a person. This is no way, because Hong Kong the high cost of service industry. But it was just the man in the lower (attendants) are 7000-9000 regular wages, if they have room, then also passes down the days.
many cleaners can wear Nike and buy a ipod, but Hong Kong is no way to get the housing you have to do.
Philip Yong said that the bottom can get people, and they have to pay about 3000, can food, accommodation, however, is that they usually have the basic shopping entertainment Guanggong Yuan Han too.
each have different income levels, consumption and entertainment is not the same too. but sum up a lot of variety and entertainment in Hong Kong too.
13. democracy
This is a very sensitive topic, I hesitated but decided to write a few words.
before Hong Kong is a colony is directly appointed by the Governor, not elected, people can say that there is no democracy. However, the Government has made to clean and also for the people Therefore, the sound will be the Democratic response.
after the reunification, Hong Kong Basic Law, members elected under the Basic Law, Members of the Chief Executive election, not everyone in Hong Kong the right to vote, that is, is the Executive is not universal suffrage, which is Hong Kong's democrats often put a small circle election. Victor tried to promote democracy in Hong Kong and other arrangements to get within a few years to achieve universal suffrage in Hong Kong, but which still involves too wide, it takes time.
, but has to say to Hong Kong was still very freedom of speech, everyone can express their views, pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong, many of the personnel and the ***, but Hong Kong people are not very interested in these people, a lot of *** in Tsim Sha Tsui, where leaflets, pulling banners, few people ignore them. real people in Hong Kong their views, they can think independently, many people are not interested in politics, but not universal suffrage, said to be very reluctant to
(transferred, very hard, to the point of applause slightly free .. ~ ~ Welcome to Hongkong travel oh ~ ~)
... THE END ...
