I
’ve been living in Hong Kong for more than five years, but I’m continually surprised by how much I
don’t know about my adopted country. After some eager and enthusiastic exploration in our first
year, I seem to have fallen into a steady routine, rarely stepping out to wander down a new path.
This month’s theme –
Getting to know Hong Kong
– is designed especially for all of us
who could benefit from
shaking up our normal routines
and seeing a different side of the
city. If you find yourself shopping at the same supermarket week after week – and always complaining
about the price, the selection, the freshness – then you’ll want to check out the article about local
markets. We’ll tell you what’s on offer and what to expect, and even suggest a few dishes to make with
your newfound treasures.
Ever find yourself stewing in the rush-hour humidity, fuming that you got off to a late start and
consequently can’t find a taxi? You’ll want to check out
“Cyber-savvy city living”,
where, among
other cool stuff, you’ll find a taxi booking app that will change your life. I’m not exaggerating. You will thank
us when you first experience its magic.
Whether you’ve lived here your whole life, recently returned from time abroad, or are an expat only
camping here temporarily, there’s surely something left to explore.
This month marks the end of our production year. After taking a bit of time to enjoy the summer sun,
we’ll be back again in September, when we begin our 12th year!
That’s a long
legacy that we’re looking forward to celebrating, but it’s also a great chance for us to change things up a
smidge and bring you some new treats.
I hope you have a wonderful summer,
and I’ll see
you in September.
