6 May 2010 - One would think Hong Kong is a small place and that the best public transport in the world would make it easy for people to travel around. Well, not for Hong Kong people: they like to stay put. I am always surprised when Kowloon people tell me they seldomly go to Hong Kong, and vice versa. How is it possible that people do not expand their world? Why are they not more curious and outgoing? The City of Buzz is one of the most vibrant, dynamic and interesting places on the planet, yet people do not care (dare?) to explore. The islanders are too arrogant to go to the mainland (they call it "
the dark side"), and Kowloon folks feel the Hong Kong side has nothing to offer they cannot get cheaper on their side of Victoria Harbor. Why waste money to go & see? They probably think Lamma is a planet beyond Pluto.
