|People walk faster in HK?  Not in the HK I live in.  Every time I go out

Wow, then you must belong one of those "fastest walkers" ... :>

I guess I also belong to the "fast walkers", since I always feel that
people are block my way, and there are just too many people on the
pavement.

BTW which part of HK are you referring to?

|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.

This is sad for HKers.  This means that they never know what
politeness is ...
