前幾天舉了兩例，都親身體會，本來還有一例好震撼，老公叫我不要以偏蓋全，所以還是忍口了，不料今天看新聞講有男女大學生在紅磡理工大學旁當街性交，旁若無人，唉！又是大陸來的。把這些文化帶來香港，又怎能不讓家長們避之則吉呢？

When I was on Taipei's MTR, once saw an old woman walks in and three people immediately jumped up to give her their seats!
I would have thought EK is a good training ground for people to become less judgmental since you find all kinds of people here! Of course, this doesn't stop people from stepping on others to elevate themselves

I seldom go to Taiwan, but I heard the same thing from other people.
It is probably habit. My kids and my habit is not to sit on the MTR. But my husband prefer to sit. May be it is because he normally drives and thus not used to standing. Not saying he is tired or physically not fit, as he plays tennis a lot and is sporty. He just does not like standing while commuting.
I have warned him that people in HK nowadays are very judgemental. If he gets a seat on the MTR and did not realise someone in need around while playing iPhone apps, he photos might be on FB within 10 min.
In any case, I agree HKers are not exactly very polite or nice. There is room for improvement definitely.

I am doing business with factories. I have seen many labours like 咕哩. They were not very educated and many speak bad words amongst themselves all the time, but they can also be really polite and kind to people in need. I have always thought EK parents should be more open minded. So I was surprised some parents are comparing db and ssp. I am sure db's nice environment makes the whole experience nicer anyway. I personally do not feel that people going to or living in "high class area"  are all polite. Anyway, I guess anyone has his rights to believe whatever he wants to.

[丈義每多屠狗輩] this is so true!!  I think in general Hongkongers are ok.  Some 「自由人」too very willing to give way to elderly.  I am a bit like Nintendo.  I dont like sitting on trains either.  And if I have to offer my seats, I tend to choose old people and not pregnant woman (dont know why though).

I have lived in a few other western cities too.


My kids are teenagers. Older one already in university and younger one in high school. They were not born in Hong Kong but have lived in Hong Kong for many years. So it is not like we have not looked beyond the well.
May be we are not in the same circle of friends, but the gweilo I know are all enjoying it here in Hong Kong. They may not agree with the selfishness of some Hong Kongers but they do accept it as it is. After all, I think there are selfish people in most large cities like Tokyo, New York and Toronto. The point is, we need to stand firm and keep up with living up to our own set of values. That's it.
I really cannot remember the last time people acted rudely to me. What is the point of always tallying other people's faults. I would rather try to find the beauty of this place instead.  I still remember that there was this very dusty dirty construction worker that helped an old man carry his bags out the MTR train. That was just last week. 丈義每多屠狗輩. And not all gweilo or western educated people are compassionate.

Good points you've made there, Nintendo.

I think people like me who were brought up abroad early do think more critically (be it the observations and/ or the conclusions), or in other words, more judgemental. I'm not sure if this is how kids are taught in IS here in HK, or perhaps it is just the culture that I picked up being out there for very long.

I find that expats are usually even more critical compared to me, in everything from transport to education to politics, so do be aware that when one puts a child in a school that allows kids to explore their own ideas and think critically, the children may by comparison seem more judgemental by local kids.

On the other hand, they are also more able to accept reasonable counter-proposals. Even parents here in the IS forum is very different from the rest of BK. Very critical, great thinkers, but at the same time willing to admit mistakes and accept new ideas compared to some people I came across over there.

There has been in lots of discussion at BK. It is just hard to say whether those already sitting down on the mtr do not need the seat as much as a pregnant woman. They may be very tired people too, like store sales after standing a whole day. And there may be other reasons: someone is ill? Someone is rushing to a second job and trying to rest for 10 min? Who can be sure? When I was pregnant, I had my ways to not needing other people's help. I know, there certainly are people that are selfish. But I do not judge. I do not even want to tally. Whatever la. Hk people are not the most compassionate. But they are not that bad.

To avoid problems and misunderstanding, usually I do not sit at all on mtr. On buses. if i want to sit i always go on the upper deck. It is hard to be generous person. I find hk people always judging others.

I had been giving up my seat to the pregnant women a couple of times in MTR. However, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between fat and pregnant. Some women are very sensitive and always think u are sex wolf if u stare at them. So I always close my eyes when on the train and it may cause another misunderstanding.

I give my seat to elderly & young children as well, and it does seem like women who has raised a family are usually more sensitive. To be fair, it is not too bad, as I did a little tally (for fun) and the number of people giving up their seat Female to Male ratio is about 10:7.

My usual BMI is about 19 so I am quite skinny (even after giving birth). It is quite impossible to mistake me as fat even when I was 8 months pregnant. As a personal experience, once in an MTR compartment 2-3 seated passengers who had their eyes wide open while i was walking in suddenly felt very tired and pretend to fall asleep (both male & female). I really didn't mind about the seat and was quite energetic that day, just finds it funny how people deal with their guilt :)

Again, general behaviour does vary from area to area (as well as the time of the day; understandably).

HK people are not that bad in general.

I tried to use DB vs SSP to illustrate a point but I actually never took my child around the SSP area However, I had my fair share of carrying the baby on the HK mtr line without being offered a seat whereas i usually receive one in DB. Just thought that ppl may challenge the bus vs. mtr issue so i used SSP bus line in my illustration instead.

As to  the impoverished side of the western world, I've been there too. I once gave a hotdog to a (real) homeless guy on the street and in gratitude he asked if he could hold my hand for a second, and he actually closed his eyes (in prayer?) before letting go of it. One can feel that he really appreciated the gesture. On the other hand I once tried doing the same in Hong Kong, many years ago, as my heart just went out to this woman on the street with a young child in her arms. She seemed terrified, not knowing what to do as i gave her the food, and I noticed she was looking around as if checking if 'her boss' would see it. Later I found out it's probably triad related, with members controlling women and kids to beg on street for them. The child was probably not hers either. Yes, in such an environment like HK (and more so in China), one's heart learns to grow cold.

My helper told me that in Philippines men usually give their seats to elderly/pregnant women in need too, and found it astounding that it's usually the middle age women who do the same in Hong Kong instead. (Young men stared at their video games, old men don't give a sh*t, and the rest just suddenly pretend to sleep upon seeing someone in need; I had that happening right in front of me while i was pregnant).


Just went to a seminar tonight, the speaker was a renown psychiatrist from the States. She told the audience, the greatest moment of her parenthood came one day when her grown son (1 of the 3 sons she has) just received his first bonus from work. The mom asked him what he did with the money, and he replied that he gave it away to (a well-established, reliable) charity. In nurturing a child who can think beyond the needs of himself and be able to contribute to his beliefs, the mother felt that she has finally succeeded as a parent. (Although her other two sons are lawyers, her highlight was not their academic successes). Most probably I was the only one who shed a tear when the speaker shared this, for I too, is hoping that this may happen in my household one day.

Agree with all the points, but the DB vs SSP does have another social class dimension to it.  Most of our upbringing don't expose us to the impoverished side of the western world where compassion is less affordable while we see all walks of local life in HK, so I don't see it as a apples to apples comparison.   We just tend to be too self critical (for example people tend to brand taxi drivers as assholes but there is a fair share of the nice ones but we tend to forget about them..)

其實都差唔多，都係討錢嘅職業乞衣，政府來者不拒，乞衣和尚都自由行，梗係揾笪易揾錢嘅地方啦，喺大陸踎成日都揾唔到100蚊呀！
