Not in the HK I live in. Every time I go out onto the street, it's filled with thousands of people who can't decide what direction to walk in. Sometimes they stop dead with no warning, and sometimes they sway from side to side so you can't pass. Usually I have to walk in the road, because the pavement is too frustrating! :) And yes, HK is a generally rude city. I don't mind, since no-one means anything by it most of the time, and you get used to it after a while. Ian
