Interview Interrupted by State Highway Administrator - Video
HOW can you not love Hong Kong?
Home of Bruce Lee, divine dim sum, lofty buildings, loftier real estate prices and in spite of all those buildings easy access to incredible stretches of great outdoors.
Its been more than 15 years since the British handed Hong Kong over to Chinese rule but little has changed.
Hong Kong remains a competitive and independent city, consistently ranked as one of the worlds best places to live.
But dont take our word for it.
Here are 10 things this great city does better than anywhere else.
1 . Tonal talents
Native English speakers whove managed to learn Cantonese from scratch: give yourselves a pat on the back. The language has a total of six to nine tones, depending on where youre hearing it, compared to Englishs zero tones. No other Asian language comes close. (There are four tones in Mandarin, five in Thai and six in Vietnamese). Thats kind of like saying one English word can be pronounced six different ways and have at least six different meanings.
Locals like to say this makes us particularly good at music (certain karaoke sessions have proven otherwise) and studies have shown theres some truth to this.
To add to the complexity and fun of the language, Cantonese is a dialect with new slang invented everyday and many words arent used in written communication.
