I would love to travel to Hong Kong in the next couple of years! I love learning about new cultures and in the process fell in love with a lot of the Japanese culture, that is the language I am currently learning. Definately hard but I am lovin it! What places are a must see if you travel to Japan?

I was born in HK but came to Australia when I was young. So basically I'm ABC, just not pure bred. I do want to go back to work after next year when I graduate. Does anyone know of english speaking churches in HK? I remember walking past one somewhere in TST but forgot the name.
There are a number of English-speaking churches (we call them international churches) in Hong Kong, but it's a small enough circle that you will find people in more than one place as they visit other churches or change to other churches over time. In TST there are plenty I can think of. In the YMCA there are several churches that meet in the conference rooms on Sunday throughout the day. Also there's St. Andrews Anglican church on Nathan Road, it's closer if you get off at Jordan MTR station and walk. That is more of a renewal church last time I was there (abt 4yrs ago) but may be going back the other way with the new vicar there now.

I can think of a number of churches there (by the way I'm now in Australia but I've lived in HK almost half my life in total) but once you find one the people can tell you about others.

I found HK to be the right place to introduce me to different asian music genres. I heard my first J-Pop songs (Japanese pop) as well as K-Pop (Korean), and Mando Pop (Mandarin). Of course there was the local Canto Pop too. You just can't get much of it in Australia! I miss the opportunity to just be able to buy and listen to those things.

I came to Aust when I was very young and don't know how to read/write Chinese. I've been back to HK a few times and although I'd call Australia home, I always feel an urge to live in HK? But when I go back to HK people there think of me as an ABC and in Australia, people would think I'm Asian oriented. Identity crisis? Anyone have similar issues?
