I came to Hong Kong when I was 21 on a 3 month contract, but it ended up feeling like home

    For HK, I feel that this is sadly only possible for people who are well-off financially and have a lot of money. My partner is from HK, I have visited countless times and it also feels like home to me, but because we both don't have much money we decided he must move to EU instead. Otherwise I would love to try and move to HK but for people like us of the lower/middle class it seems impossible :( It sucks but this is not talked about enough. Either foreigners moving to HK have a lot of money or they get good job offers that allow them to live there

    Honestly though everything is so much easier and simpler in Hong Kong. In USA it takes 20 minutes to get to a grocery store while in HK it takes like 5 minutes, convenience store is literally next to your apartment. You literally don't even need a car to get anywhere. Transportation is so much easier and rarely breaks down. :'D

    Hello, Taylor! Hoping you and your little family are doing so well. I was wondering if you wanted to make a video again if you could do something really easy going for you like a compilation of best places in Hong Kong to visit/traditions. I always loved when you talked to the people and businesses there- it feels like I traveled through space even though I am at opposite end of the globe. Anyway, it always inspired me and makes me want to visit so it would be so cool to see your top highlights!

    I agree with the 90 day theory. I lived in Bangkok for 3 years and even still now at home in England I still make similar gestures or say certain expressions or phrases in Thai. Luckily for me that my city has a lot of Thai people here so it doesn’t feel that weird and I’ve had some great conversations

    I wish when I was younger I had gone to Japan. I already moved coasts. My life was flying to see my friends and grandma's on east coast. I built my business in California. I'd love to travel now. Living there? I could. I love NYC... I love the energy of being out and about. But I love living a mile from the beach.
