I've been to Hong Kong last summer for three days. I swear some people there are the most rudest and meanest people I have encountered in my entire life.
I am a Malaysian Chinese and I have to agree with most of what you said..Most if not all my Malaysian friends agree too...Do not think the problem lies with "being chinese " Perhaps you can try visiting Malaysia ..Citizens of all races here...whether chinese .malay or indian origins are generallly very warm courteous and friendly..You will be impressed.
Malaysian here too I saw Dan Lok's video n found quite a useful info but at the same time I think about this video m.ua-cam.com/video/xlm6u3SNDOY/v-deo.html Some comments for HK people and Dan Lok Stop bull shit to the youngster .. no doubt u have a brilliant mind but animal heart so u can push to human limit with animal desire with the gift of human wisdom for money.. what would an animal does to get something ? U r definitely a free thinker.. high intellegence animal.. Look at Steve Jobs , wtf he can do with his billions of dollars? He was diagnosed with cancer and recovered then diagnosed with cancer again after pushing his limit using same thought as this fatty pig face mindset .. Nobody gonna recognise wtf is iPhone in next 5 years especially the young kid .. perhaps buried in Google or may be difficult to find those info too on Google This fatty pig from HK . Those HK Chinese is so poor that spend their entire life, energy and money for the expensive rented house small like a coffin, restaurant seat packed like a coffin, and work inside a coffin .. how many people really get rich in the world ? Face the fact and reality.. money is important but craze for it like this mad dog.. Wtf.. for HK people.. please polish your skill and English level and get the fuck out of HK with your family..don't stay in this hell while u can. Get a life and stop making this stupid video.. Some special note to Dan Lok, can u do plastic surgery of your face cause u look like north Korea president n wanna slap your face .. alright I shall stop wasting time complaining about this animal n spend my time wisely and more carefully to earn money
Back in the early 90's a friend of mine visited hong kong went window shopping. She just wanted to look n checkout some shoes but was told that if you touch the shoes you have to buy them or else dont touch them at all.
I'm a Filipino and I have visited Hong Kong once. I met a friend who is a domestic helper. She told me her boss throws kitchen utensil for no reasons when they're angry. They tell their Filipina domestic helpers humiliating things.
As a Chinese I do not like Hong Kong for the same reasons you stated. As a matter of fact when I tried to speak Mandarin in HK back in the 90's I would get looked down upon and be spoken to very rudely. When I switch to English all these idiots all of a sudden seem to have a light bulb click on and try to communicate in what limited English they master. All in all HK people are a totally another breed. No other place like this on earth......THANK GOD!!!!!
Mainland Chinese are fairly nice everywhere, especially towards foreigners (Caucasians). However, in terms of public courtesy you'll find that the culture is quite inconsiderate. Since it's not a personal thing you should not take it personally. Took me a while to get used to that.
I'm a mixer of japanese, indonesian & dutch -- but when comes to look & mentallity I'm more japanese & I don't speak chinese though I do understand a lit bit of cantonese because I lived awhile in malaysia -- one hongkee woman said rudely to me " OH YOU DON'T SPEAK CHINESE BUT YOU UNDERSTAND CHINESE?" oohhh what a bitch!!!!😆😆😆😆😅😅😄
Just came home from HK and I can say that I've experienced most of the things you mentioned in this video.. And I was only there for three days but had the most horrible experience ever. The place and food were nice, but the people around me just ruined the whole experience!
AGREEEEE! was there for a week's holiday and I just wanted to go home on my third day. they r sooo rude! they don't hv hearts like human beings anymore, the busyness of life eats them all away.. angry faces all the time. if u walk in to a shop u better buy something, if u go out empty handed u get that dirty look. I was so depressed by day 4. this is just my own experience.
Low Anne Behold Haha I was haggling in Mongkok and the lady got mad at me when I told my sister to go since it was still expensive. The lady was holding my arm and wont let us go
my chinese friends from sabah went to hk & while there they wanted to buy jades but the old hongkee said " YOU MALAYSIAN CHINESE ONLY ASKED NEVER BUY"😁 One of them was very angry & bought some only to his surprise later that they were IMITATIONS!!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆😅😄😄😄😂😂😂😂😂
This guys observations are very accurate. I am not Filipino, but Filipinos are very clean, patient, respectful and kind. Hope the entire world sees this video.
Don't know if you have noticed, but at shops, restaurants, or even some nurses at the hospital if they see something about you they don't like they will start talking about you with their coworkers loudly as if they want you to hear it!
People are gonna think I’m crazy… but here me out. Mainlanders are actually infinitely friendlier than Hong Kongers. Cantonese speaking areas in general are much less friendlier than mandarin speaking areas. Give Northern China a shot.
Every word coming out of you is so correct, my last four dau visit to hongkong made me hate them to an extent that i wanted to beat the hell out. Not only they are short people but also small people. Small eyes cant see their flaws. Miserable indeed
@@einwd okic thanks !!!!!!! My parents explain to me that hong kong chinese are very rude becasue of lower educated and also poor (not rich )!!!!!What do you think ?
@@einwd My parents also explain to me that china (including taiwan, hong kong and macao )and korea(including north korea and south korea ) are poor and not well educated because of century of humiliation(at that time , china and korea were bullied by western countries , russia and japan !!!!!!Also at that time , western countries , russia and japan robbery many money from china and korea , so that china and korea called western countries, russia and japan as robbers )What do you think ?
Hi, im filipino... me and my family went to hk when i was 8, 7 years ago, as tourists, i was most excited about disneyland at that time... but i will share my experience At the airport, there is a part where you show your passports and stuff, one employee threw our passports away and shouted, she was asking for a form that we didnt know, so we finally filled up that form and went to a diff person, he didnt take the form and let us in 😡 at the end we just threw our forms away... At the hotel, the woman working there was so loud! Even at night! She is screaming at the phone etc. ... At the restaurant there was an old woman who saw us taking pictures and started screaming at us and making middle finger! And she didnt get kicked out! We have to move instead! At the market, there are people selling shirts and raising the price on us, we asked why it was expensive, and she got mad cuz we were complaining and her employees asked us to leave... The only person i found nice at hk was a stranger, old man who was in line for the disneyland entrance and he was in front of me, he gave me disney stickers. Thats all
I have to agree on that can I take two a public light bus some random old guy just tell me to eat s*** for no reason in sometimes some random guy just push me no reason the only nice guy is that really fat guy random chef in the market I think he even made a joke in I remember this woman tell me to die before the one time I was sitting on the bench and then there's this one random kindergarten children parent I was sitting on the bench with my phone and then that guy out with me for no reason tell me no mercy and tell me is this your school uniform I'm going to call your teachers in snitch on you and those Toddlers from their parents are staring at me like they're about to snitch in one goes behind their mother and I've no choice to leave literally anger on me no reason I don't know what causes the anger on me I remember that kindergarten school uniform I think I think one of the Filipino mothers are so nice to me most people that is nice to meet our Filipinos but sometimes I get irritated on karaoke I'm fine with that I guess in some rude employees hate me for speaking English to tell me Cantonese if I know Cantonese in a more rude tone I just like to speak English in everyone keep telling me to speak Cantonese because I'm in Hong Kong in some others tell me to speak your own language when you're in your own country the timer feels a little bit of offensive in sometimes some school teenagers just tell me I'm a joke and tell me to shut the f****** I saw the teenagers on there on the phone so I want to blend it in with GTA mobile and then they still tell me to shut the f****** some and teenagers tell me because I'm funny
I lived there 3 years. I found expats to be very insular and false. The chinese were just rude and not very friendly in general. The odd person may be ok. The bumping on the streets nearly turns into fights. Thats why I dnt live there anymore.Vietnam, thailand and cambodia anytime.
im from hong kong and im sorry that you have such experience. i believe if you treat people right, people will treat you the same way. those cases with philippino are too extreme, i have a philippino helper as well, we are in good relationship for nearly 10 years. my family celebrates her birthday every year with cakes and presents. there are mean people in every country and i hope you understand that:) peace everyone!
Hello mam, I am an Indonesian chinese . I went to hk and Macau lately with my wife and a toddler . It was on 6th February 2019 very recent. I have been to many countries but seriously I was stunned by the rudeness and unhelpfulness in hk macau. I spoke in English despite I am able to speak in mandarin because everyone told me hk ppl dislike mainlander and they might mistake me for one . However, the taxi drivers, bus drivers ,the commuters , shop assistance and even the staffs of 5stars hotels were very rude and arrogant
I've been once to hong kong & wanted to buy something in a supermarket, since I didn't see the price tag I asked the salesgirl about it -- with a folded hands to her chest she asked me " ARE YOU GOING TO BUY???"
Very well said and very articulate. Ive long wanted to say my observation its good it came from you. Im a chinese/filipino from the philipines and we are different bec we hv gmrc (good manners and right conduct) lessons in elementary just like JApan so i was a bit dumbfounded with their being rude. Thanks.
I stayed in Hong Kong for a week Each morning I go to the bakery outside my hotel and purchased 2 pineapple buns It was 7 AM no other customers in the store I paid the cashier woman and she did not even look at me or said anything but just gave me back my change but I said Thank you to her I purchased the same buns each day at the same time and paid the same woman and thank her even she said nothing On the Eighth day (my last day in HK) she finally said 'Don't mention it' in Cantonese People are like that you have to educate them and they will change
I feel this way too. rudeness has become the default. But I prefer to be kind so I always keep my tone of voice happy nd polite when talking and 50% of the time peoples tone of voice change very quickly from rudeness to kindness and we speak on a different level. Something like that you said lead by example etc
The cashier was probably sick and tired of her job. If each and every customers thank her, imagine how many times she has to greet back. It's tiring. Be more understanding, idiot. Just because you are white, you expect high class treatment? Fuck off.
In HK, you will be taken advantage of or being labelled as unsophisticated if you tried to be unconditionally nice to strangers. You get bullied by being simply nice to someone. This is the reason why they wouldn't turn kind or say nicer when they get to know each of them better and ascertain people's characteristics. They feel that they might be possibility of being exploited by straight away accepting people they didn't know well. They observed with preventive clause by any means. I have been here for most of my life so I understand them well enough to say. Typical Mainland Chinese think that way when most of these population are still of a proletariat mentality level.
Ha Ha Ha,, really. I giggle here for a long time. I think it is time people like the cashier to be taken to the Chinese mainland for an organized extensive education on how to behave, communicate and respect others especially when doing business.
first of all i m from HK and i did realized this problem, but i think they are scared because they don't know English. Rudeness is the problem and it needs plenty of years to improve because of the cultural(shy) and education level.
Living in HK you have to be thicked face to survive day to day life. Not for a sensitive weak heart. Had my fair share of Being and living there. Time is money it appears.. Some good thing about the place too.
Coming from my mother who used to live in hk, cars will not wait for pedestrians, its been like that for A LONG TIME. They will not care if you midway crossing a street. I guess its because of the busy lifestyle that they have. So most hk pedestrians tend to walk fast for 2 reasons, they are hurrying somewhere or they are not risking their lives. Also on the 20 yr old girls who still chase Hello Kitty, I, personally think that is perfectly fine. The behaviour of some teenagers in Australia could be worse. Stopping in the middle of the shopping centre to take a selfie or groupie. Usually a table in the food court, for far too long too talk and use social media. Ordering food with no please or thank yous. Loudly talking in cinemas or public places. On the bus I catch, several drivers have already had to shout at them to quiet down. Bumping into people and not saying sorry. Being unawareof their surroundings, like running across the street with a red light, having to have their friends pull them back. Basically acting as if they own the place. This behaviour is caused by them thinking that they look cool on social medias or in public. Ive seen several people look towards these teens in disgust. Its not just Hong Kong 😰😁
Well I’m from Hong Kong too but I don’t think most of them is right..Some Hong Kong people trusts Jesus so they are not rude at all!I guess you need to know more about Hong Kong ..
My parents told me that polite people and rude people are exsist in all races, so my parents told me that not to be stereotype, what do you guys think?
I can tell you , the way they treat their own hk people is really mean as well. In the work field, some employers are the bastards of hell, they treat employees almost like slave, not just yell at workers when doing the wrong thing, they would curse at them, blame their parents to born such a stupid kid to work at this place and say some really bad swear words and put them down to a worthless trash sometimes can get abit of physical- i had been pushed the head down several times just because i asked dumb questions
I am hong kong chinese and I absolutely agree what you said !!!!!!!! I think that only Hitler and Nazi Party can deal with those rude hong kong chinese(black humor/ dark humor) !!!!!!What do you think ?
Capitalism, you got to love it. Have you been elsewhere in China? Why don't you go to a province like Sichuan. Much more low key vibe (less wealth = people are more down to earth), and less insane capitalistic pinball cement-scape like Hong Kong.
I've gotta say on what your saying is spot on I'm Chinese born in HK immigrate to Australia 40 years ago. I was in Hk two years ago and hated every min of my three days stay there and won't be going back any time soon. Sad thing is I have relatives living there😩 I'm embarrassed on how some of these Chinese are they make me sick on their rudeness.
I live in Hong Kong. And sometimes people ARE rude. That's why I've always wanted to go to America. Plus people in my school always act like they are the best. I'm mixed and they think I'm racist.
Missy Iz A Potato if they treat you bad because of your different ethnic background, you should leave for good. Hong Kong people now act very much like their China counterpart. They have zero tolerance for different races, especially white ppl because they make the chinese feel inferior. These are coming from a local hong kong myself.
I have traveled by Kathy Pacific to London via HK. It was terrible the way the HK Airport staff treated me. When I was going I was asked in the gate of aircraft by someone, who have asked me "why do I go to the UK, where am I going and where that place is located in the UK" etc. On my way back the airport staff was shouting at me to ask how could I get permanent residence in Japan. When I was going to the gate for boarding another staff had asked me to show my passport and told me that it is a fake passport. I have challenged him, he called someone else, two or three people came and have inspected my passport but could not find anything wrong.
You can’t hurt people’s feeling dumb kid!Learn more manners!You’ve hurt every Hong Kong people that watched this comment you dumb kid!Say Sorry to all of them!
I always like to dodge people.... when I was in Hong Kong...people tried to bump into me but use the aikido style using their own force and trip them... makes me laugh...
You are right bro I appreciate with your every single word is true I don't know why they have that much attitude, I'm just waiting for China control all over Hong Kong then I'm going to see the Hong Kong people attitude.
As a black guy myself, I have visited Hong Kong and lived in many other parts of China for many years. I can honestly say my experience was actually the total opposite. While I was there, the Chinese people seemed extremy nice and polite to me actually. I met many friends there and my relationship with them carried on even back in the US. I don't know. Maybe I'm bias because I met my wife in China who is also Chinese. Chinese people are nowhere near that bad. They just have to get use to you because your a foreign Westerner and some may be prejudgments about you based from bad experiences, which can regard any race not just Chinese. Once they get to know you, they can be extremely sweet, especially older Chinese people. Same with Japanese people when I studied abroad there too. I think Americans can be wayyyyy worst especially in Baltimore, Maryland where I currently reside.
Some of the explaination that making sense here .. A lot of cultures are just byproducts of demographics. Just go to any overpopulated country and you'll see the same behaviours. Even in the Netherlands people can be pushy, greedy and rude, they're one of the most population dense countries in the world. Then go to Norway or Canada, and people are very self-aware and courteous. Too many people in a small area is the definition of hell. Consider moving to the country / rural area, if you can. I'm sure the people there will be nicer.
As Indonesian i really don’t like saying these things because i have chinese friends that are nice to me here in Germany during my college year but i have to tell you one time me and family went to Hong Kong for a holiday and things like people said about chinese spitting, cutting line, rude language, etc happened to me and my family just as soon as my family landed in Hong Kong. It happened sooner actually would you believe it. A chinese guy forced me to switch seats while pulling my hand in an airplane witnessed by many people and his fellow chinese yelled at me asking me to move. They were very loud and rude. I honestly don’t know what seems to be the problem that causing them to behave this way. Many people have problem with mainland chinese but after went to Hong Kong i was surprised. Didn’t really think people there could be that rude and uncivilized like that. To be fair there are nice people too there. I just hope for a better and civilized chinese one day. Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Not everyone in HK is rude, But I have to admit that HK is a fast-paced and stressful place. I lived in HK for a few years before (a long time ago) and yes, some people were rude. I heard that some HK people are nice to white english-speaking people but they are rude to mainland chinese nowadays?
You are white. If you live in Hongkong as Asian, that's gonna be 100 times worse. Hongkang is a money oriented society. I am Chinese from mainland. The service in hongkong was terrible. I was pissed off a couple of times.
As an Asian,let me add something about what are modern time Chinese like. They,we call them Jina people,are not originally main stream of Ancient great China but mixed blood between Tibetan and Mongolian,mainly resulted in Mogolian Empire era of 13th Century.
i was in hk last year and being a tourist, i read about the norms and the culture, etc first. so when i rode the mtr and there was this old lady standing i did not offer my seat because based on what i read, chinese will take offense if you offer them a seat, it is as if you are pointing out their frailty, weakness and age. i thought this was true because when my friend went to china, there was this old lady who was pushing a cart full of loads at an escalator. the old lady got off balanced and she almost fell down had not my friend helped her. then when they were off the escalator safe, the old lady shouted at my friend and hit her several times with an umbrella... now i see that it is different in hk and i feel bad i did not offer my seat, btw, i am a filipino
I worked in a family of five, i clean 2 house which is in the contract i should take care one only. I was naive and stupid that time it was my first time abroad i let the grandma humiliate me in public. She’s in her wheel chair and my employer asked me if i could sleep in her house to accompany her of course i said Yes, do i have a choice, i was stupid. She woke up every after 30 minutes to smoke in the bathroom and if i’m sleeping the time she would kick my head to wake me up to stand in the toilet door to watch her in the toilet smoking. In the morning i feel like i want to collapse due to lack of sleep by that time i was working 5 months in their home.Everytime my employers go out it’s a nightmare to me bacause only me and the grandma left in the house. I couldn’t rest my mind bacause i always hear her voice inside my head though she’s not calling me. She would throw things infront of me especially food if she didn’t like it. I lost a lot of weight that my mother cried and always urged me to just go back home when we are talking via phone video call. I burn my hands in using muriatic acid in cleaning the toilet bacause she forbid me to use gloves. There was a time that she hold my head and wanted to bump it in the faucet sink but i told her i would run to police and she calm down. We don’t eat lunch most of the time she eat biscuits and smoke. I tried to cook more rice at night but she caught me so i didn’t tried it again. She is weak in appearance and using a cane but strong physically. She sometimes buy me food and i cried while eating at the kitchen i don’t know why. I managed to worked and waited for the arrival of their new Helper. I prayed in tears every night and now my prayer answered.
You cannot judge a country/something just by one video and specially a negative one or one sided video, Try searching on YT about Pros and Cons, Tips to travel, etc about a country you'll visit so you can have a neutral point of view like this one ua-cam.com/video/qV-cVhMAK4c/v-deo.html And you could check a youtuber that I follow called Taylor R, she went to HK for a few years to work as model then went to japan for a few years too and went back to HK, she even have a HKer boyfriend, she do vlogs and now she's doing food vlogs I hope this helps
Native Hongkong people just as rude today as it was in 1980s. Ask a question or make a comment, and you may be berated if the seller sensed that you do not appear rich and you are not buying. They expect that you just make a quick purchase. The sellers are not as friendly after a sale. The Hong Kongers are under high stress 24/7 with high living cost and crowded living. And naturally are short tempered. Today, I rather go to other places that are visitor friendly and avoid being agitated and aggravated. I can "visit" these places on UA-cam channels and buy online from the comforts of my home. I can dine at fine Cantonese restaurants in my neighborhood same taste anytime and cost less too.
July 2019, can confirm. Spent 2 days just to go to Disneyland HK and even the staff are rude. Food and sights are too good for its people. NOT ALL but the MAJORITY! Smiling is a sin to the HK people 😂
I m a Chinese too and just back from this place. I m not chinese educated but i used to learn a lot of Chinese culture from wiki, UA-cam, documentary, blogs When I was there I felt very strong negative around me and feel pressure. It's expensive too for accommodation and food. It's even worse compare last 10 years when I was there Now when I am back and would not visit them again except 5 stars hotel or above place or like casino in Macau. Not feeling like watching their program or HK movie even for free.
Hong Kong is just entirely "too crowded & expensive." It's "unnatural" for people to live in such a densely packed area. Some people, like this particular man are extremely 'ill-suited' for crowded city life.
While what you are saying about the rudeness of Hong Kong Chinese is very true, you need to differentiate Hong Kong from China. The rudeness of Hong Kong people is not a Chinese thing. British ruled Hong Kong for 100 years and Chinese in Hong Kong are actually westernised. They hate China more than anybody else. They are not proud of being part of China and the rise of China at all. They see the rise of China as a threat to them and they cannot accept the fact that their once poor neighbour who they look down on for decades has become rich. Chinese in Hong Kong and Chinese in Mainland China are very very different so please don't mix them up. People in Hong Kong are rude deep down because they think they "as an individual" are better than anybody else. I needed to emphasize "as an individual" because, as opposed to what you think, people in Hong Kong actually have no concept of nationalism. They were also brought up in a highly competitive environment and developed a mean, harsh and selfish personality. They apply perfectionism on others and hence Hong Kong is nick-named the City of Complaints. They praise Whites and look down on non-Whites, and hence the "You are dirty" insult to a Filipino domestic helper. They think Whites are the best race. On the other hand, Chinese in Mainland China are rude on the outside because they are not well educated due to the poor past of China and that's it. Many of them are actually very friendly and hospitable when you start to know them. But most Whites expats still choose to live in Hong Kong rather than China because Hong Kong and its system and people are westernised.
I never praised the whites though I am Chinese!! NEVER!!!! At times they're as racist or could be worst!! HK is THE product of the British liberal Capitalism that makes HK today a place of hell after 100 over years of colonisation!! Serve the British right today they are invaded by Muslim Immigrants!!
The difference between hongkong chinese and mainland chinese, hk chinese were rude, mean, but at least they were behave as a tourist , but a mainlander.. they dont behave well, maybe cultural attitude as a communist .
Accurate response. The chinese who grew up in HK think they're special because they were colonized by the British. Then at the same time they blame their shitty behavior on the British. Which is it? The British expats in HK can behave in a civilized manner, so HK people cannot blame their shitty behavior on the British. But that's just like a HK person, not to accept responsibility for anything. Goes back to their incredibly selfish mindset.
My former boss in Malaysia is a chinese- vietnam. She pays her chinese employee who is a part timer and only comes to office 3 times a month unlike me full-time, 6 days a week, pay part timer for RM 1700 per month, and I earned RM 1400. Its upsetting. She will said good work, if only I execute task well. But when the developer need time and it is something I cant help with, she was really mad at me for not doing a good work. The developer doesn't even like the company. They felt my boss is defensive and very rude. Countless of people go in and out of the company. And now they have no staff left. Just her , her son and the part-timer chinese girl.
i remember when britain was to return hk to china, the hongkees were calling every chinese in the world to give them moral support -- why ??? all of sudden all the chinese in this planet are their family???? why??? PARA SALVAR SUS CULOS !!!!
Don't ever think mainland China like HK, it's totally different. I am a mainland Chinese and I've been HK 1 years ago for trip. It was that time I know that HongKong Chinese will discriminate against mainland Chinese or even feel shame about China. I just don't understand why ever time mainland Chinese trying to ask them for help or something,they just make a sour face on us.Mainland Chinese seldom do that kind of thing...so don't think that all Chinese are like that
I hate our taxi and red minibus too...they are crap. So sorry for you experience. :'( I think Hong Kong is a very third world place and I want to leave. You are right, money can't buy happyiness, money can't even buy an apartment nowadays. You know why we are so unhappy? We are stucked here.
Yup, I gave up on a friend. He always hung out with rich Hongers and ended up being one of them. Only cares about status and money now... no more laughter
as I know most of Hong Kong people had already gone to oversea countries. in fact the Hong Kong people are not that much. many chinese you can see in Hong Kong nowaday are come from another place (many of them come from mainland of China, some of them come from Vietnam......etc) in fact the original Hong Kong people also feel their behaviour is not ok and unacceptable, so some of the oringal Hong Kong people has been complaining ,but they don't want to change their behaviour, most of them even pretending they come from Hong Kong and doing many things and say many things which is wrong, it's something really unset the Hong Kong people. as everyone speak Cantonese in Hong Kong (just like American and British English ,Mandarin speaker have to speak Cantonese in Hong Kong nowaday ) it's hard for you to recognise who are real Hong Kong people. as you know ,hk people are famous on better behaviour(behave properly as it is the original hk culture) than another chinese from other part of China. it have not changed so be hand over, but there is just many chinese who are not from UK and behave not properly. do you know how many hk people complaining those people's (they are not from hk, they mainly come from mainland of China, some of them are Vietnam )behaviour?as what they are doing is illegal in hk and not acceptable in hk. some hk people even call police as those chinese doing illegal behaviour in hk (it's ok in mainland of China but it's not ok in hk).lets say they even singing Keraoke in public places in the midnights , no matter how many times the police talk to them. anyway hope you can meet some real Hong Kong when you are in Hong Kong, so you can understand what is happen and you can ask them why, they will tell you something same sa me. thanks
Cantonese people like HogKongers just a small part of Chinese, yes, Hongkongers and Guangdong people who speak Cantonese have worst manners we all know that.
I am married to Chinese girl from Malaysia. Travelled in China a few times and also Hong Kong N Singapore. I feel Chinese from HK and Singapore is different from the Chinese elsewhere. To many they give a bad name to the Chinese. People in China mainland, particularly in the villages are the nicest. It is true Chinese as a society pay more attention to making money than many other races but they are not unique. However they are ready to work hard for it. It is hard to find lazy Chinese. Result - their success all over the world. So all in all - don’t have a bad impression about all Chinese because of The people in HK. Go to China mainland - and find out about true China and the Chinese people. Also, bad treatment of domestic helpers is problem in all over Asia and Middle East. So it’s a different issue and most thinking people in the world hates it.
Hahaha. No COMMENTS, you defined everything! Its just sad that they are sooooo rude because they work hard to have much resources and in the end is MONEY is all they have.they think they can buy everything . and birds of the same feathers, click and they like their kinds.hahaha. the poker faced ones.
Yes indeed.. i just back from Macau.. it's just fuck up same.. i won't visit them again except casino cause the customer service is good inside.. other restaurant, street people, taxi driver .. all suck.. why should i pay high price for suck up services in the small stress town.. just fuck up don't visit them again, wasting time.. or 1 sentence " i won't pay 1 dollar for something worth a cent"
I was just wondering, is there any place like Hong Kong that is also crowded and lots of people? How does it compare to Hong Kong? I get that the tone of Cantonese is like they're always fighting, but are most Hong Kongers really rude?
i agree to this. not only are they rude but they are also extremely racist. the way they look down at the Filipino domestic helpers who are mostly Filipinas who left their family to slave for them and their family to earn a decent living and the way they treat them are like dogs. they are even disgusted when Filipino women domestic helpers would have fun during their weekend time off. come on, why would they do that. even dogs have fun . i will never forget when i was in college and this was way back in the mid 90s when we Filipinos rally so we can save flor contemplacion from death sentence. you sir have raised something that is close to my heart. unfortunately almost no one in the world would raise this. been waiting for someone to raise this. until i saw your video. it is my hope that one day not one Filipino mother will have to leave their kids and family so they can serve these Chinese hk. one day i know in my heart that will happen. what i can tell you is that the world will continue to change but i do not believe that the Filipino will ever become the rude and racist Chinese hk you just described because the Filipinos are too friendly for that and we are not materialistic. thank you sir
I'm born in HK I'm mostly encounter rude people mostly are old don't know why old people are so rude to me for no reason I accidentally bump into this old man and he was extremely mad and he was screaming you made a mistake and he was screaming like Hitler and I one time in the public light bus there's this random old man that tell me to eat s***yep most rude people encounter is old people but not all of them are rude though I met some nice people like this old lady she's pretty nice
just go to mongkok and if u approach the saleslady in ladies market stall, they will curse u if u will not buy after asking the price of the item, hope hongkongers will train in manila to have manners
I've been to Hong Kong last summer for three days. I swear some people there are the most rudest and meanest people I have encountered in my entire life.
I am a Malaysian Chinese and I have to agree with most of what you said..Most if not all my Malaysian friends agree too...Do not think the problem lies with "being chinese "
Perhaps you can try visiting Malaysia ..Citizens of all races here...whether chinese .malay or indian origins are generallly very warm courteous and friendly..You will be impressed.
chris choo KL is a nice place.
Malaysian here too
I saw Dan Lok's video n found quite a useful info but at the same time I think about this video m.ua-cam.com/video/xlm6u3SNDOY/v-deo.html
Some comments for HK people and Dan Lok
Stop bull shit to the youngster .. no doubt u have a brilliant mind but animal heart so u can push to human limit with animal desire with the gift of human wisdom for money.. what would an animal does to get something ?
U r definitely a free thinker.. high intellegence animal..
Look at Steve Jobs , wtf he can do with his billions of dollars?
He was diagnosed with cancer and recovered then diagnosed with cancer again after pushing his limit using same thought as this fatty pig face mindset ..
Nobody gonna recognise wtf is iPhone in next 5 years especially the young kid .. perhaps buried in Google or may be difficult to find those info too on Google
This fatty pig from HK . Those HK Chinese is so poor that spend their entire life, energy and money for the expensive rented house small like a coffin, restaurant seat packed like a coffin, and work inside a coffin .. how many people really get rich in the world ? Face the fact and reality.. money is important but craze for it like this mad dog..
Wtf.. for HK people.. please polish your skill and English level and get the fuck out of HK with your family..don't stay in this hell while u can. Get a life and stop making this stupid video..
Some special note to Dan Lok, can u do plastic surgery of your face cause u look like north Korea president n wanna slap your face .. alright I shall stop wasting time complaining about this animal n spend my time wisely and more carefully to earn money
Malaysian chinese here too
O
Back in the early 90's a friend of mine visited hong kong went window shopping. She just wanted to look n checkout some shoes but was told that if you touch the shoes you have to buy them or else dont touch them at all.
I'm a Filipino and I have visited Hong Kong once. I met a friend who is a domestic helper. She told me her boss throws kitchen utensil for no reasons when they're angry. They tell their Filipina domestic helpers humiliating things.
Yes you right
I was told once that a filipina maid had to sleep in a bathtub bcoz the apartment was so small
As a Chinese I do not like Hong Kong for the same reasons you stated. As a matter of fact when I tried to speak Mandarin in HK back in the 90's I would get looked down upon and be spoken to very rudely. When I switch to English all these idiots all of a sudden seem to have a light bulb click on and try to communicate in what limited English they master. All in all HK people are a totally another breed. No other place like this on earth......THANK GOD!!!!!
Mainland Chinese are fairly nice everywhere, especially towards foreigners (Caucasians). However, in terms of public courtesy you'll find that the culture is quite inconsiderate. Since it's not a personal thing you should not take it personally. Took me a while to get used to that.
Try using English on their forums, chats, etc. Guaranteed you be called every name in the cuss book. 😏😏
I'm a mixer of japanese, indonesian & dutch -- but when comes to look & mentallity I'm more japanese & I don't speak chinese though I do understand a lit bit of cantonese because I lived awhile in malaysia -- one hongkee woman said rudely to me " OH YOU DON'T SPEAK CHINESE BUT YOU UNDERSTAND CHINESE?"
oohhh what a bitch!!!!😆😆😆😆😅😅😄
Not completely true, Chinese folks are the same, or worse! Say one thing bad about China and see what happens?!
Not because of someone like you.. But because of the others who are soo rude to HK people.. Every mankind wants revenge sometimes..
Been to HK once, never again. This video is correct
Just came home from HK and I can say that I've experienced most of the things you mentioned in this video.. And I was only there for three days but had the most horrible experience ever. The place and food were nice, but the people around me just ruined the whole experience!
Anne Lee Was in HK for 5 days and people wont help us find our way when we got lost. They are rude and sarcastic
Have to agree...
Anne Lee you are so beautiful by the way
One of my frnd also working in hongkong exactly he told me the same thing they are so rude specially taxi drivers
Howie Feltersnatch
Lmao yeah right.
True some Hong Kong people are so rude
ugly truth in HK... this is true
AGREEEEE! was there for a week's holiday and I just wanted to go home on my third day. they r sooo rude! they don't hv hearts like human beings anymore, the busyness of life eats them all away.. angry faces all the time. if u walk in to a shop u better buy something, if u go out empty handed u get that dirty look. I was so depressed by day 4. this is just my own experience.
Low Anne Behold Haha I was haggling in Mongkok and the lady got mad at me when I told my sister to go since it was still expensive. The lady was holding my arm and wont let us go
Damn u
I feel you!
😆😆😆😆😅😅😅😄read my comment abt the supermarket!!!!! 😆😆😆😆😅😅😄
my chinese friends from sabah went to hk & while there they wanted to buy jades but the old hongkee said " YOU MALAYSIAN CHINESE ONLY ASKED NEVER BUY"😁
One of them was very angry & bought some
only to his surprise later that they were IMITATIONS!!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆😅😄😄😄😂😂😂😂😂
This guys observations are very accurate. I am not Filipino, but Filipinos are very clean, patient, respectful and kind. Hope the entire world sees this video.
Don't know if you have noticed, but at shops, restaurants, or even some nurses at the hospital if they see something about you they don't like they will start talking about you with their coworkers loudly as if they want you to hear it!
😱😱
People are gonna think I’m crazy… but here me out. Mainlanders are actually infinitely friendlier than Hong Kongers. Cantonese speaking areas in general are much less friendlier than mandarin speaking areas. Give Northern China a shot.
But I know that Hong Kong Chinese and Taiwanese Chinese think that they are better than mainland Chinese!!!! What do you think?
Ur totally right bro I’ve experience the same thing
I TOTALY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID BROTHER!!!!
The Chinese that travel to the US in their large groups are SO RUDE! None have manners!
mainlanders
They are mainlanders, different from Hong Kongera
Hongkong are rude than mainland chinese
😆😆😆😆😅😅😄😄😄😅😅😆😆
😆😆😆😅😅😄😄😂😂😂
Every word coming out of you is so correct, my last four dau visit to hongkong made me hate them to an extent that i wanted to beat the hell out. Not only they are short people but also small people. Small eyes cant see their flaws. Miserable indeed
I am hong kong chinese and I agree what you said !!!!!!!
Yeah
@@einwd okic thanks !!!!!!! My parents explain to me that hong kong chinese are very rude becasue of lower educated and also poor (not rich )!!!!!What do you think ?
David Yuen i think.yes there are not much education about manners,and rudeness has became the norm.
@@einwd My parents also explain to me that china (including taiwan, hong kong and macao )and korea(including north korea and south korea ) are poor and not well educated because of century of humiliation(at that time , china and korea were bullied by western countries , russia and japan !!!!!!Also at that time , western countries , russia and japan robbery many money from china and korea , so that china and korea called western countries, russia and japan as robbers )What do you think ?
David Yuen my parents told me to forget about that, i mostly agree with them.
Many employer in hongkong so rude ....with helpers .....this Real.....
Reading all comments it is *Confirmed.. the world is now fucked*
Hi, im filipino... me and my family went to hk when i was 8, 7 years ago, as tourists, i was most excited about disneyland at that time... but i will share my experience
At the airport, there is a part where you show your passports and stuff, one employee threw our passports away and shouted, she was asking for a form that we didnt know, so we finally filled up that form and went to a diff person, he didnt take the form and let us in 😡 at the end we just threw our forms away... At the hotel, the woman working there was so loud! Even at night! She is screaming at the phone etc. ... At the restaurant there was an old woman who saw us taking pictures and started screaming at us and making middle finger! And she didnt get kicked out! We have to move instead!
At the market, there are people selling shirts and raising the price on us, we asked why it was expensive, and she got mad cuz we were complaining and her employees asked us to leave...
The only person i found nice at hk was a stranger, old man who was in line for the disneyland entrance and he was in front of me, he gave me disney stickers. Thats all
:(
I have to agree on that can I take two a public light bus some random old guy just tell me to eat s*** for no reason in sometimes some random guy just push me no reason the only nice guy is that really fat guy random chef in the market I think he even made a joke in I remember this woman tell me to die before the one time I was sitting on the bench and then there's this one random kindergarten children parent I was sitting on the bench with my phone and then that guy out with me for no reason tell me no mercy and tell me is this your school uniform I'm going to call your teachers in snitch on you and those Toddlers from their parents are staring at me like they're about to snitch in one goes behind their mother and I've no choice to leave literally anger on me no reason I don't know what causes the anger on me I remember that kindergarten school uniform I think I think one of the Filipino mothers are so nice to me most people that is nice to meet our Filipinos but sometimes I get irritated on karaoke I'm fine with that I guess in some rude employees hate me for speaking English to tell me Cantonese if I know Cantonese in a more rude tone I just like to speak English in everyone keep telling me to speak Cantonese because I'm in Hong Kong in some others tell me to speak your own language when you're in your own country the timer feels a little bit of offensive in sometimes some school teenagers just tell me I'm a joke and tell me to shut the f****** I saw the teenagers on there on the phone so I want to blend it in with GTA mobile and then they still tell me to shut the f****** some and teenagers tell me because I'm funny
I lived there 3 years. I found expats to be very insular and false. The chinese were just rude and not very friendly in general. The odd person may be ok. The bumping on the streets nearly turns into fights. Thats why I dnt live there anymore.Vietnam, thailand and cambodia anytime.
im from hong kong and im sorry that you have such experience. i believe if you treat people right, people will treat you the same way. those cases with philippino are too extreme, i have a philippino helper as well, we are in good relationship for nearly 10 years. my family celebrates her birthday every year with cakes and presents. there are mean people in every country and i hope you understand that:) peace everyone!
sherie fung Thanks to you ,you are one of a Kind,Hopefully many will follow you,All of us are Human to be respect, GOD BLESS YOU+ your family
Hello mam, I am an Indonesian chinese . I went to hk and Macau lately with my wife and a toddler . It was on 6th February 2019 very recent.
I have been to many countries but seriously I was stunned by the rudeness and unhelpfulness in hk macau. I spoke in English despite I am able to speak in mandarin because everyone told me hk ppl dislike mainlander and they might mistake me for one . However, the taxi drivers, bus drivers ,the commuters , shop assistance and even the staffs of 5stars hotels were very rude and arrogant
@@joerywong7384 I've been to macau yes, I didnt like it either -- if I dont speak the language I JUST DONT SPEAK IT
Joery Wong They discriminate against Mainland Chinese and feel shamed to be called a 'Chinese'
@@TinTinHoiSam same experience in macau, people are really really rude here, i dont know why.
Well , Many Hong Kong people are like this and I felt ashamed and sorry for you .
I've been once to hong kong & wanted to buy something in a supermarket, since I didn't see the price tag I asked the salesgirl about it -- with a folded hands to her chest she asked me " ARE YOU GOING TO BUY???"
Very well said and very articulate. Ive long wanted to say my observation its good it came from you. Im a chinese/filipino from the philipines and we are different bec we hv gmrc (good manners and right conduct) lessons in elementary just like JApan so i was a bit dumbfounded with their being rude. Thanks.
Wait isn't the good manners in right conduct taught by Filipino women
Agree with you 100% lived in HK from 1985-92/ and I have never had the urge of ever going back. Even for the visit.
please come to malaysia. you will see the different with our malaysian chinese, malay & indian.
I stayed in Hong Kong for a week
Each morning I go to the bakery outside my hotel and purchased 2 pineapple buns
It was 7 AM no other customers in the store
I paid the cashier woman and she did not even look at me or said anything but just gave me back my change but I said Thank you to her
I purchased the same buns each day at the same time and paid the same woman and thank her even she said nothing
On the Eighth day (my last day in HK) she finally said 'Don't mention it' in Cantonese
People are like that you have to educate them and they will change
I feel this way too. rudeness has become the default. But I prefer to be kind so I always keep my tone of voice happy nd polite when talking and 50% of the time peoples tone of voice change very quickly from rudeness to kindness and we speak on a different level.
Something like that you said lead by example etc
The cashier was probably sick and tired of her job. If each and every customers thank her, imagine how many times she has to greet back. It's tiring. Be more understanding, idiot. Just because you are white, you expect high class treatment? Fuck off.
In HK, you will be taken advantage of or being labelled as unsophisticated if you tried to be unconditionally nice to strangers. You get bullied by being simply nice to someone. This is the reason why they wouldn't turn kind or say nicer when they get to know each of them better and ascertain people's characteristics. They feel that they might be possibility of being exploited by straight away accepting people they didn't know well. They observed with preventive clause by any means. I have been here for most of my life so I understand them well enough to say. Typical Mainland Chinese think that way when most of these population are still of a proletariat mentality level.
Ha Ha Ha,, really. I giggle here for a long time. I think it is time people like the cashier to be taken to the Chinese mainland for an organized extensive education on how to behave, communicate and respect others especially when doing business.
first of all i m from HK and i did realized this problem, but i think they are scared because they don't know English. Rudeness is the problem and it needs plenty of years to improve because of the cultural(shy) and education level.
Living in HK you have to be thicked face to survive day to day life. Not for a sensitive weak heart. Had my fair share of Being and living there. Time is money it appears.. Some good thing about the place too.
Coming from my mother who used to live in hk, cars will not wait for pedestrians, its been like that for A LONG TIME. They will not care if you midway crossing a street. I guess its because of the busy lifestyle that they have. So most hk pedestrians tend to walk fast for 2 reasons, they are hurrying somewhere or they are not risking their lives. Also on the 20 yr old girls who still chase Hello Kitty, I, personally think that is perfectly fine. The behaviour of some teenagers in Australia could be worse. Stopping in the middle of the shopping centre to take a selfie or groupie. Usually a table in the food court, for far too long too talk and use social media. Ordering food with no please or thank yous. Loudly talking in cinemas or public places. On the bus I catch, several drivers have already had to shout at them to quiet down. Bumping into people and not saying sorry. Being unawareof their surroundings, like running across the street with a red light, having to have their friends pull them back. Basically acting as if they own the place. This behaviour is caused by them thinking that they look cool on social medias or in public. Ive seen several people look towards these teens in disgust. Its not just Hong Kong 😰😁
I'm from Hong Kong and he is speaking the truth people !
Well I’m from Hong Kong too but I don’t think most of them is right..Some Hong Kong people trusts Jesus so they are not rude at all!I guess you need to know more about Hong Kong ..
I'm a Hong Kong local, and this is 100% accurate
Yes and I totally agree with you!!!!!! I am also hong kong Chinese and I am 80s!!!!!! What do you think?
Pretty vile. Birdeyes people (cantonese) with zero pride, truly lapdogs
My parents told me that polite people and rude people are exsist in all races, so my parents told me that not to be stereotype, what do you guys think?
I can tell you , the way they treat their own hk people is really mean as well. In the work field, some employers are the bastards of hell, they treat employees almost like slave, not just yell at workers when doing the wrong thing, they would curse at them, blame their parents to born such a stupid kid to work at this place and say some really bad swear words and put them down to a worthless trash
sometimes can get abit of physical- i had been pushed the head down several times just because i asked dumb questions
yes. I agree. i think that is due to their inferioity mind
I am hong kong chinese and I absolutely agree what you said !!!!!!!! I think that only Hitler and Nazi Party can deal with those rude hong kong chinese(black humor/ dark humor) !!!!!!What do you think ?
some people in Hong Kong are very hypocritical because of culture, and rude because they want to
I am a HKer and i have and same POV with you! And i really really hope the problems would be changed. I feel very ashamed after watching this video.
After watching all the videos about Asia or Chinese community, I found Taiwan or Singapore are the best places to live in among them.
they are mostly like that everywhere.
Capitalism, you got to love it.
Have you been elsewhere in China? Why don't you go to a province like Sichuan. Much more low key vibe (less wealth = people are more down to earth), and less insane capitalistic pinball cement-scape like Hong Kong.
I've gotta say on what your saying is spot on I'm Chinese born in HK immigrate to Australia 40 years ago. I was in Hk two years ago and hated every min of my three days stay there and won't be going back any time soon. Sad thing is I have relatives living there😩 I'm embarrassed on how some of these Chinese are they make me sick on their rudeness.
i blieve u & ill nvr step that land ever again !! 😡
I live in Hong Kong. And sometimes people ARE rude. That's why I've always wanted to go to America. Plus people in my school always act like they are the best. I'm mixed and they think I'm racist.
Missy Iz A Potato if they treat you bad because of your different ethnic background, you should leave for good. Hong Kong people now act very much like their China counterpart. They have zero tolerance for different races, especially white ppl because they make the chinese feel inferior. These are coming from a local hong kong myself.
I am a Hongkonger myself and I have to say these are accurate in many ways!
Sry bro I used to be in hongkong I left hongkong just because people's are friendly even so rude I'm happily living in Malaysia
I'm a Canadian and I feel like I'll be saying "Sorry...sorry....sorry".
I have traveled by Kathy Pacific to London via HK. It was terrible the way the HK Airport staff treated me. When I was going I was asked in the gate of aircraft by someone, who have asked me "why do I go to the UK, where am I going and where that place is located in the UK" etc. On my way back the airport staff was shouting at me to ask how could I get permanent residence in Japan. When I was going to the gate for boarding another staff had asked me to show my passport and told me that it is a fake passport. I have challenged him, he called someone else, two or three people came and have inspected my passport but could not find anything wrong.
I think every body will agree with you, bro. 👍👍👍👍👍
that's the truth of hongkong, lack of politeness. I'm so sorry for that.
Ykzir Polyglot your very rude to us
You can’t hurt people’s feeling dumb kid!Learn more manners!You’ve hurt every Hong Kong people that watched this comment you dumb kid!Say Sorry to all of them!
I always like to dodge people.... when I was in Hong Kong...people tried to bump into me but use the aikido style using their own force and trip them... makes me laugh...
I agree..most polite asians are japanese
Ken Tan South East Asians are also generally polite.
You are right bro I appreciate with your every single word is true I don't know why they have that much attitude, I'm just waiting for China control all over Hong Kong then I'm going to see the Hong Kong people attitude.
Many Asian had bad experience in America too.
As a black guy myself, I have visited Hong Kong and lived in many other parts of China for many years. I can honestly say my experience was actually the total opposite. While I was there, the Chinese people seemed extremy nice and polite to me actually. I met many friends there and my relationship with them carried on even back in the US. I don't know. Maybe I'm bias because I met my wife in China who is also Chinese. Chinese people are nowhere near that bad. They just have to get use to you because your a foreign Westerner and some may be prejudgments about you based from bad experiences, which can regard any race not just Chinese. Once they get to know you, they can be extremely sweet, especially older Chinese people. Same with Japanese people when I studied abroad there too. I think Americans can be wayyyyy worst especially in Baltimore, Maryland where I currently reside.
Some of the explaination that making sense here ..
A lot of cultures are just byproducts of demographics. Just go to any overpopulated country and you'll see the same behaviours. Even in the Netherlands people can be pushy, greedy and rude, they're one of the most population dense countries in the world. Then go to Norway or Canada, and people are very self-aware and courteous. Too many people in a small area is the definition of hell.
Consider moving to the country / rural area, if you can. I'm sure the people there will be nicer.
As Indonesian i really don’t like saying these things because i have chinese friends that are nice to me here in Germany during my college year but i have to tell you one time me and family went to Hong Kong for a holiday and things like people said about chinese spitting, cutting line, rude language, etc happened to me and my family just as soon as my family landed in Hong Kong. It happened sooner actually would you believe it. A chinese guy forced me to switch seats while pulling my hand in an airplane witnessed by many people and his fellow chinese yelled at me asking me to move. They were very loud and rude. I honestly don’t know what seems to be the problem that causing them to behave this way. Many people have problem with mainland chinese but after went to Hong Kong i was surprised. Didn’t really think people there could be that rude and uncivilized like that. To be fair there are nice people too there. I just hope for a better and civilized chinese one day. Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Shut up Muslim
you can't expect manners from pedestrians, when even the service staff are very rude.
Not everyone in HK is rude, But I have to admit that HK is a fast-paced and stressful place. I lived in HK for a few years before (a long time ago) and yes, some people were rude. I heard that some HK people are nice to white english-speaking people but they are rude to mainland chinese nowadays?
If I were you, move to Philippine for living, don't stay in HK anymore. Philippine is your paradise, no need to post any upset video.
Kent Cheung Wow! Philippines? Why? Be carefull to some filipin not 100% kind
@@hbz317 some filipino is not kind, 5 percent is not kind, nobody is perfect you know..
He already said theres Nothing wrong to do with the place Hong Kong, its the quality of the people thats need to change
Philippines have some rude people too you know. Especially the men.
You are white. If you live in Hongkong as Asian, that's gonna be 100 times worse. Hongkang is a money oriented society. I am Chinese from mainland. The service in hongkong was terrible. I was pissed off a couple of times.
As an Asian,let me add something about what are modern time Chinese like. They,we call them Jina people,are not originally main stream of Ancient great China but mixed blood between Tibetan and Mongolian,mainly resulted in Mogolian Empire era of 13th Century.
I miss Pacific's videos, the guy did make a lot of good points...
i was in hk last year and being a tourist, i read about the norms and the culture, etc first. so when i rode the mtr and there was this old lady standing i did not offer my seat because based on what i read, chinese will take offense if you offer them a seat, it is as if you are pointing out their frailty, weakness and age. i thought this was true because when my friend went to china, there was this old lady who was pushing a cart full of loads at an escalator. the old lady got off balanced and she almost fell down had not my friend helped her. then when they were off the escalator safe, the old lady shouted at my friend and hit her several times with an umbrella... now i see that it is different in hk and i feel bad i did not offer my seat, btw, i am a filipino
you are so fucking right bro, speaking the truth
I worked in a family of five, i clean 2 house which is in the contract i should take care one only. I was naive and stupid that time it was my first time abroad i let the grandma humiliate me in public. She’s in her wheel chair and my employer asked me if i could sleep in her house to accompany her of course i said Yes, do i have a choice, i was stupid. She woke up every after 30 minutes to smoke in the bathroom and if i’m sleeping the time she would kick my head to wake me up to stand in the toilet door to watch her in the toilet smoking. In the morning i feel like i want to collapse due to lack of sleep by that time i was working 5 months in their home.Everytime my employers go out it’s a nightmare to me bacause only me and the grandma left in the house. I couldn’t rest my mind bacause i always hear her voice inside my head though she’s not calling me. She would throw things infront of me especially food if she didn’t like it. I lost a lot of weight that my mother cried and always urged me to just go back home when we are talking via phone video call. I burn my hands in using muriatic acid in cleaning the toilet bacause she forbid me to use gloves. There was a time that she hold my head and wanted to bump it in the faucet sink but i told her i would run to police and she calm down. We don’t eat lunch most of the time she eat biscuits and smoke. I tried to cook more rice at night but she caught me so i didn’t tried it again. She is weak in appearance and using a cane but strong physically. She sometimes buy me food and i cried while eating at the kitchen i don’t know why. I managed to worked and waited for the arrival of their new Helper. I prayed in tears every night and now my prayer answered.
EXACTLY!!! I have a chinese "friend" who thinks if you have money then you have life and he doesnt even care about anyone!!!
Goodness! I wish I saw this video earlier. I'm flying there to Hong Kong soon. This is discouraging.
You cannot judge a country/something just by one video and specially a negative one or one sided video, Try searching on YT about Pros and Cons, Tips to travel, etc about a country you'll visit so you can have a neutral point of view like this one
ua-cam.com/video/qV-cVhMAK4c/v-deo.html
And you could check a youtuber that I follow called Taylor R, she went to HK for a few years to work as model then went to japan for a few years too and went back to HK, she even have a HKer boyfriend, she do vlogs and now she's doing food vlogs
I hope this helps
😆😆😆😅😅😄😄😃gd luck!!!
Try to smile, it's not a sin. Soooo agree!
Native Hongkong people just as rude today as it was in 1980s. Ask a question or make a comment, and you may be berated if the seller sensed that you do not appear rich and you are not buying. They expect that you just make a quick purchase. The sellers are not as friendly after a sale. The Hong Kongers are under high stress 24/7 with high living cost and crowded living. And naturally are short tempered. Today, I rather go to other places that are visitor friendly and avoid being agitated and aggravated. I can "visit" these places on UA-cam channels and buy online from the comforts of my home. I can dine at fine Cantonese restaurants in my neighborhood same taste anytime and cost less too.
I totally agree with u, man.... look like u been through a very hard time in hong kong, take it easy pal
i agreed, some have no manners at all.
July 2019, can confirm. Spent 2 days just to go to Disneyland HK and even the staff are rude. Food and sights are too good for its people. NOT ALL but the MAJORITY! Smiling is a sin to the HK people 😂
I m a Chinese too and just back from this place.
I m not chinese educated but i used to learn a lot of Chinese culture from wiki, UA-cam, documentary, blogs
When I was there I felt very strong negative around me and feel pressure. It's expensive too for accommodation and food. It's even worse compare last 10 years when I was there
Now when I am back and would not visit them again except 5 stars hotel or above place or like casino in Macau.
Not feeling like watching their program or HK movie even for free.
I agree with that to some point. but every big city has its rude culture.... NYC....
Sir I don’t think most hongongers even consider themselves chinese, if you want to get to know Chinese people better maybe you should go to mainland.
Hong Kong is just entirely "too crowded & expensive." It's "unnatural" for people to live in such a densely packed area. Some people, like this particular man are extremely 'ill-suited' for crowded city life.
I indian my friend.... Whatever you have said is on point.... Theses are rudest people in this planet..
While what you are saying about the rudeness of Hong Kong Chinese is very true, you need to differentiate Hong Kong from China. The rudeness of Hong Kong people is not a Chinese thing. British ruled Hong Kong for 100 years and Chinese in Hong Kong are actually westernised. They hate China more than anybody else. They are not proud of being part of China and the rise of China at all. They see the rise of China as a threat to them and they cannot accept the fact that their once poor neighbour who they look down on for decades has become rich. Chinese in Hong Kong and Chinese in Mainland China are very very different so please don't mix them up. People in Hong Kong are rude deep down because they think they "as an individual" are better than anybody else. I needed to emphasize "as an individual" because, as opposed to what you think, people in Hong Kong actually have no concept of nationalism. They were also brought up in a highly competitive environment and developed a mean, harsh and selfish personality. They apply perfectionism on others and hence Hong Kong is nick-named the City of Complaints. They praise Whites and look down on non-Whites, and hence the "You are dirty" insult to a Filipino domestic helper. They think Whites are the best race. On the other hand, Chinese in Mainland China are rude on the outside because they are not well educated due to the poor past of China and that's it. Many of them are actually very friendly and hospitable when you start to know them. But most Whites expats still choose to live in Hong Kong rather than China because Hong Kong and its system and people are westernised.
It's so true !
Very chinglish
I never praised the whites though I am Chinese!! NEVER!!!! At times they're as racist or could be worst!! HK is THE product of the British liberal Capitalism that makes HK today a place of hell after 100 over years of colonisation!! Serve the British right today they are invaded by Muslim Immigrants!!
The difference between hongkong chinese and mainland chinese, hk chinese were rude, mean, but at least they were behave as a tourist , but a mainlander.. they dont behave well, maybe cultural attitude as a communist .
Accurate response. The chinese who grew up in HK think they're special because they were colonized by the British. Then at the same time they blame their shitty behavior on the British. Which is it? The British expats in HK can behave in a civilized manner, so HK people cannot blame their shitty behavior on the British. But that's just like a HK person, not to accept responsibility for anything. Goes back to their incredibly selfish mindset.
My former boss in Malaysia is a chinese- vietnam. She pays her chinese employee who is a part timer and only comes to office 3 times a month unlike me full-time, 6 days a week, pay part timer for RM 1700 per month, and I earned RM 1400. Its upsetting. She will said good work, if only I execute task well. But when the developer need time and it is something I cant help with, she was really mad at me for not doing a good work. The developer doesn't even like the company. They felt my boss is defensive and very rude. Countless of people go in and out of the company. And now they have no staff left. Just her , her son and the part-timer chinese girl.
Absolutely fantastic. I am nodding and find myself vindicated with every thing you said in this vid.
There are rude people in every country and discrimination is everywhere in the world too.
that goes without saying -- but hongkees ARE SOOOOOOO FAMOUS for being rudes !!!
i remember when britain was to return hk to china, the hongkees were calling every chinese in the world to give them moral support -- why ??? all of sudden all the chinese in this planet are their family???? why???
PARA SALVAR SUS CULOS !!!!
Don't ever think mainland China like HK, it's totally different. I am a mainland Chinese and I've been HK 1 years ago for trip. It was that time I know that HongKong Chinese will discriminate against mainland Chinese or even feel shame about China. I just don't understand why ever time mainland Chinese trying to ask them for help or something,they just make a sour face on us.Mainland Chinese seldom do that kind of thing...so don't think that all Chinese are like that
I was scolded by the chinese lady in a hong kong bakery when i tried to give back the extra change of money to her.
the americans and philippinos are def. a match in terms of demeanor and how they view the world
Right on brother, everything u mentioned in this video is spot on ..what happened to compassion people.
I hate our taxi and red minibus too...they are crap. So sorry for you experience. :'( I think Hong Kong is a very third world place and I want to leave. You are right, money can't buy happyiness, money can't even buy an apartment nowadays. You know why we are so unhappy? We are stucked here.
I am in Mainland China and have also visited HK a few times. I still think mainlanders are far worse lacking manners and a proper education.
Yup, I gave up on a friend. He always hung out with rich Hongers and ended up being one of them. Only cares about status and money now... no more laughter
Sad yet true. They simply lack of love
as I know most of Hong Kong people had already gone to oversea countries. in fact the Hong Kong people are not that much. many chinese you can see in Hong Kong nowaday are come from another place (many of them come from mainland of China, some of them come from Vietnam......etc)
in fact the original Hong Kong people also feel their behaviour is not ok and unacceptable, so some of the oringal Hong Kong people has been complaining ,but they don't want to change their behaviour, most of them even pretending they come from Hong Kong and doing many things and say many things which is wrong, it's something really unset the Hong Kong people. as everyone speak Cantonese in Hong Kong (just like American and British English ,Mandarin speaker have to speak Cantonese in Hong Kong nowaday ) it's hard for you to recognise who are real Hong Kong people. as you know ,hk people are famous on better behaviour(behave properly as it is the original hk culture) than another chinese from other part of China. it have not changed so be hand over, but there is just many chinese who are not from UK and behave not properly. do you know how many hk people complaining those people's (they are not from hk, they mainly come from mainland of China, some of them are Vietnam )behaviour?as what they are doing is illegal in hk and not acceptable in hk. some hk people even call police as those chinese doing illegal behaviour in hk (it's ok in mainland of China but it's not ok in hk).lets say they even singing Keraoke in public places in the midnights , no matter how many times the police talk to them. anyway hope you can meet some real Hong Kong when you are in Hong Kong, so you can understand what is happen and you can ask them why, they will tell you something same sa me. thanks
Cantonese people like HogKongers just a small part of Chinese, yes, Hongkongers and Guangdong people who speak Cantonese have worst manners we all know that.
I am married to Chinese girl from Malaysia. Travelled in China a few times and also Hong Kong N Singapore. I feel Chinese from HK and Singapore is different from the Chinese elsewhere. To many they give a bad name to the Chinese. People in China mainland, particularly in the villages are the nicest. It is true Chinese as a society pay more attention to making money than many other races but they are not unique. However they are ready to work hard for it. It is hard to find lazy Chinese. Result - their success all over the world. So all in all - don’t have a bad impression about all Chinese because of The people in HK. Go to China mainland - and find out about true China and the Chinese people.
Also, bad treatment of domestic helpers is problem in all over Asia and Middle East. So it’s a different issue and most thinking people in the world hates it.
Why you put Singapore together with hk
We are totally different
We don't speak Cantonese
I am from hongkong
yes, indeed. We are rude
you are too
TinLong Wong very funny but very true.
taiwan number one ????
Filipinos are the nicest people all over the world.
Hahaha. No COMMENTS, you defined everything! Its just sad that they are sooooo rude because they work hard to have much resources and in the end is MONEY is all they have.they think they can buy everything . and birds of the same feathers, click and they like their kinds.hahaha. the poker faced ones.
Yes indeed.. i just back from Macau.. it's just fuck up same.. i won't visit them again except casino cause the customer service is good inside.. other restaurant, street people, taxi driver .. all suck.. why should i pay high price for suck up services in the small stress town.. just fuck up don't visit them again, wasting time.. or 1 sentence " i won't pay 1 dollar for something worth a cent"
It's not most of Hong Kong Chinese
I was just wondering, is there any place like Hong Kong that is also crowded and lots of people? How does it compare to Hong Kong? I get that the tone of Cantonese is like they're always fighting, but are most Hong Kongers really rude?
these rude people you met in HK are indeed native Hong Kongers, they are not really Chinese.
i agree to this. not only are they rude but they are also extremely racist. the way they look down at the Filipino domestic helpers who are mostly Filipinas who left their family to slave for them and their family to earn a decent living and the way they treat them are like dogs. they are even disgusted when Filipino women domestic helpers would have fun during their weekend time off. come on, why would they do that. even dogs have fun . i will never forget when i was in college and this was way back in the mid 90s when we Filipinos rally so we can save flor contemplacion from death sentence. you sir have raised something that is close to my heart. unfortunately almost no one in the world would raise this. been waiting for someone to raise this. until i saw your video. it is my hope that one day not one Filipino mother will have to leave their kids and family so they can serve these Chinese hk. one day i know in my heart that will happen. what i can tell you is that the world will continue to change but i do not believe that the Filipino will ever become the rude and racist Chinese hk you just described because the Filipinos are too friendly for that and we are not materialistic. thank you sir
I think life in HK is all about money, from which leads many problems in society lacking of values in-between human.
I'm born in HK I'm mostly encounter rude people mostly are old don't know why old people are so rude to me for no reason I accidentally bump into this old man and he was extremely mad and he was screaming you made a mistake and he was screaming like Hitler and I one time in the public light bus there's this random old man that tell me to eat s***yep most rude people encounter is old people but not all of them are rude though I met some nice people like this old lady she's pretty nice
had hong kong neighbors both sides of my condo, worst neighbors, noisy and stuckup and one was a counterfeiter.
