Interesting and down-to-earth people in HK?

Hi All,

I just moved to HK about 2 months ago and have found it really difficult to adjust--are there any interesting and down-to-earth people out there who care about other things than being skinny and looking good? I am an ABC female in my 20's living on HK island--give me a shout if you are ever up for a drink or a chat!

haha...LMT,
Merry Christmas,

indeed, I sometimes do jogging at Victoria Park in early morning,
to my surprise, I never see any local young lady exercise there, neither do I see mens doing it. I only see alot of mid-age people and expats who exercise alot.

yes, it is a habit that majority of young people want to lose weight without giving the effort to exercise.

I am a man, so I don't know if young ladies talk about weight losing alot of time???
but I am sure there are many special activity groups that you can find to meet new friends of same interests.

ive been couple of times to HkG and i always stay for a long period of time...yes, it is hard to adjust and start a good conversation with female, but i never had any difficulty in dealing with guys coz they are more approachable, funny and very smart.. good thing the people i meet are those who are fluent in english otherwise, my mandarin is not that good, i will surely have a hard time, i wanna learn their cantonese language but having hard time w/ the twang..

Sometimes when look around in the MTR or on the street I wonder how most of the girls are able to walk with those skinny legs. Do they eat at all?

does any one know where i can find special activity groups? I know of two hiking groups, hktrampers and hong kong hiking meetup. How about reading groups or movie groups?
