Hong Kong China

Hong Kong China

The best advice I can give you about travel in any Asian country especially Hong Kong China is if you do drugs, carry drugs or want to do that, don't go. You get caught and your dead!

Drug Traffic is a problem in Hong Kong China. Penalties are tough! DON'T DO DRUGS in Honk Kong. Hong Kong makes strenuous law enforcement efforts, but faces difficult challenges in controlling transit of heroin and methamphetamine to regional and world markets; modern banking system provides conduit for money laundering; rising indigenous use of synthetic drugs, especially among young people.

If you are going there to do business then have at it. You will find the economy is super charged and growth in China is unbelievable. While you are there doing business you will meet Chinese girls who are some of the most sophisticated women I have ever met. The city is wide open and almost anything goes.

Hong Kong China has a free market, enterprise economy, highly dependent on international trade. Natural resources are limited, and food and raw materials must be imported. Gross imports and exports (i.e., including exports to and from third countries) each exceed GDP in dollar value. Even before Hong Kong reverted to Chinese administration on 1 July 1997, it had extensive trade and investment ties with China. 

Hong Kong China has been further integrating its economy with China because China's growing openness to the world economy has made manufacturing in China much more cost effective. Hong Kong's export business to and from China is a major driver of growth. Per capita GDP is comparable to that of the four big economies of Western Europe. GDP growth averaged a strong 5% from 1989 to 1997, but Hong Kong suffered two recessions in the past six years because of the Asian financial crisis in 1998 and the global downturn in 2001 and 2002. 

Although the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak also battered Hong Kong's economy, a boom in tourism from the mainland because of China's easing of travel restrictions, a return of consumer confidence, and a solid rise in exports resulted in the resumption of strong growth in late 2006 and in 2007.

They have gotten a good control on how to prevent SARS outbreaks and the fear of getting SARS should not stop you from going there..

The city is modern and clean. Air Pollution is at a minimal and reminds me a lot about how Singapore is.
