Can't believe half a year has gone since I last wrote in my blog. Oi. A true testament to just how busy the Hong Kong life can get. Before I came over I read about the Chinese work ethic and how most people here are workaholics, but never thought I'd turn into one myself after living here for just a year. But I do not regret this lifestyle change at all. I would never accept change if I didn't think there was something good to it. And there are so many good things I have found here already. I learn so much from these people and I know I am going to learn so much more still. Woaw I sound worse than Angelina Jolie at a UN summit!
Back to my topic. Safety.
Probably the biggest attribute to this city is its safety. I've heard the people down under say their town is quite safe, but I seriously doubt it's as safe as my Hong Kong town. Except for suicide (which is a whole other story for a whole other day) Hong Kong is practically crime free. The only crime I've ever witnessed is the price of some designer shoes. Honestly, I have no idea why it's so safe over here. Maybe it's because a safe environment is what the majority wants. There is a weird unspoken unity that you can feel amoungst the people here, and there's a weird power in unity when everyone decides upon the same thing. Either way, I'm truly enjoying this safety to it's max, and wish it could spread to the rest of the world so there's one less thing to worry about in our lives.
Can you believe that people actually lock up and leave their keys hanging outside? Then whats the point in locking up in the first place? Strange.
