Hello Peeps

Im new here.

I suppose i dont fit in the "Local" category.
I was born here, brought up in South Africa and now im back for good.

haha well I'm not a local but I know my way around, I'll be here in HK until May, but I'll be coming back here again around August or September

[fion leung]

yes. I am

im also quite curious why locals would frequent this site - issues such as work permit, etc. only concern expats.

I'm a soon-to-be expat in April

Well ask yourself why someone who has been in HK for 5, 10 or 20 years would need to visit a web site and talk about work visas, etc!! Issues such as these, and where do I find this, how do I get there are also not really their concern........

But......they can give good advice to the new people, as can the locals (of which long term expats kinda fall into that category as well!). A lot of the locals like to talk or write and practice their English skills. A lot have also travelled internationally or have lived elsewhere for many years. All of these sites benefit from the knowledge and contributions from people from all backgrounds so rather than question it just enjoy it!

>> why locals would frequent this site

May be because we are probably the friendliest online community in Hong Kong?

To paraphrase...be careful what you ask....you just might get the answer...

i'm a local. born here grew up here. found on this website when i was doing my final year project about foreigners travelling in hong kong. i like travelling and think helps from local are useful so i guess it's always good to help others when i can. and also meeting new people is fun
