Beautiful People

People from Hong Kong are generally a very attractive bunch. Beautiful, flawless skin, great hair, and fit bodies. Unlike the US, obesity is almost non-existent. The sense of fashion is top-class - you see a profusion of silk and linen, lovely gowns, shorts and skirts... not the profusion of torn and faded jeans you see in India and in the West. Mostly semi-formal or casual, very little business.

Also interestingly, very few (almost non-existent) Africans, again, a stark contrast from America and Europe. Even more interestingly, even though it was British for many many decades, Hong Kong has almost no English influence... and English is understood, but with a lot of difficulty. Most HK residents have Chinese influences, but seem fiercely opposed to being branded Chinese.
