Why bother going to Hong Kong as a tourist if all you want to experience is shopping malls and sterile allthesame.com experiences?

Why would I want to hang around arrogant obnoxious entitled expats all day long? Might as well go hang out at your local mega indoor mall instead of spending money flying to HK.
Oh right, because TST is not full of shopping malls with the same silly stores… For the record, I barely ever spend time in malls. Plenty of great food, drink, and culture on the Island.

You are allowed to leave the CWB-Central stretch, you know? There's quite a few interesting thing if you go uphill, or west towards kennedy town, or east towards north point. Not to mention the south side, with Stanley, Repulse Bay, Aberdeen, or Lamma island, etc., all of it is quiet and gorgeous.

But never mind, enjoy your "local culture where people live" in TST, free of obnoxious expats such as myself.
