"Expats in Hong Kong appreciate the city's vibrant energy and the unique blend of East and West cultures.

Finally, expats appreciate the city's friendly and welcoming people, who are always willing to help out newcomers," remarked another expat in Hong Kong.
"people are friendly and polite most of the time. Hong Kong is very clean in most respects (not the ocean or the air though), and is very safe. It has excellent public transport and english signage, and is easy to explore. I do live on Hong Kong island which is expat friendly though, and I am sure this is why it sometimes gets called "Asia lite"," said a member in Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
