"The general mood" huh? Do you have a citation to support that? Have you done a survey? Or do you mean that is your opinion and the opinion of others you know? Can you really speak for ALL the residents of Hong Kong? All of Asia? I didn't think so. Oh, but it's ok to dissect my post, basically questioning my credibility, while stating your own opinions as fact?? I'd say thats pretty assumptive and somewhat arrogant, regardless of nationality. Speaking of which, I never assumed anything of regarding your race and/or nationality. I was speaking for myself and fellow westerners. Please don't be hypersensitive, ha? Thanks!
I was expressing a point of view based on what I've heard. I certainly didn't represent it as an expert opinion. In all fairness to you guys I'm sure you know much more about Hong Kong and HKD, as I do not live there and have admittedly never been to the theme park. I typically value the opinions of those who are natives or residents to an area. In this instance the message was somehow lost in negativity.
