These HK FOBs can be identified by their announcements about what they have found in HK which they assume no one else has ever seen before, e.g. Look at these funny things, they're called mooncakes. |
Someone rated this as "So True" and someone rating it as "Offensive".
Thanks for the first one. But who found what offensive? And why didn't they have the gumption to post a response on the thread? This comment comes from over twenty years of observations of FOBs arriving in Hong Kong. How someone would find it offensive is beyond the pale. Mooncake anyone?
