Inspiration TalksLife in Hong Kong | Zernain Awais | A Doctor & Blogger“All you will have is the present. Waste no energy crying over yesterday or dreaming of tomorrow. Nostalgia is fatiguing and destructive, it is the vice of the expatriate. You must put down roots as if they were forever, you must have a sense of permanence.”
Being an expat is like being trapped between two worlds: you're not a local but you're not a tourist, you're not on vacation but you're not at home, and you have a home back in your old country but you also have a home in your new country. A lot of expat...

Dr. PattbergHong Kong's Other ReputationYes, Hong Kong is a sexist city, say many tourists. It used to have many brothels, massage parlors, and human traffickers. Especially in the expat districts, haha. Hong Kong under British rule was considered a whore house. Remember that famous novel ‚The World of Suzie Wong‘? That pretty much sums it up. Now that title has gone to Bangkok. But mistress culture and prostitution is still rampant in Hong Kong. The supply has dried up, so businessmen are looking for foreign and mainland mistresses.

The China in Africa PodcastThe black expat experience in Hong KongAfrican residents living in China today are either students or traders, according to widely held perceptions. With more than 80,000 African students studying in China every year and tens of thousands of people from across the continent doing business in port cities like Guangzhou and Yiwu, it's not surprising that these misconceptions persist.
But these perceptions grossly oversimplify a very diverse population. Moreover, they don't account for the growing number of black professionals from around the world who now live in many of China's largest cities, especially in places like Hong Kong.
