PART II
One of the most amazing fact that i've learn from my trip is that English is useless in china.Noone bloody understood what i was trying to say.Goodness..u can swear/insult/scold them in all the colours of english, and they wouldnt understand anything at all. The only few words that they understood were "Good" "Bad""thank you" and i think "Fuck" and "shit".I had the most miserable time of my life in china trying to shop or find my way around town.I for once, regretted not learning mandarin.
Who the heck checks out at 12am??However, hong kong is a totally different scenario.Their understanding of english is, by far, way better.I'm not being bossy about my english,in fact, my english isnt the best,its probably one of the worst if compared to all my other friends, but it is the only language(other than the dreaded BM) i can speak in. :)
This chee cheong fan cost about aud 0.30(RMB2.50)But of course China has its own good points as well,especially in areas that concerns food.Not only is it generous in its ingredients and size, it is also very cheap.Thank God i went to china with my family and three other uncles, as they all knew how to communicate in mandarin.They did most of the ordering, as the menu were all in mandarin XD.
Seafood Chee cheong fan with vegs and mushrooms(RMB 3) 
Roast pork,pork belly, and bbq pork all in one dish
A whole goose cost around RMB 100, in hong kong,it is roughly twice the price.Just so that you know,a whole goose can easily feed a family of 5.
In hong kong however, the prices of food is about 4-5 times the value of that in China.I personally enjoyed every meal i had in hong kong(i spent most of my money in this area).Their dim sum is unbeatable.I would never ever eat dim sum again in perth,they just couldnt compare in taste and price.Every meal was a meal to remember.
Beef brisket hor fun (HKD 30+)
Sumo Ramen(HKD 40+)
White curry rice(HKD 30-45)If you are one that enjoys eating regardless of price, than i can assure you that you will most definitely enjoy the wide arrays of dishes in Hong Kong.
