    Hello! I'm from Hong Kong. First time joining this thread since I just recently started coming back to TSR after a 3 year hiatus.

    Am fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese. That's about it. See you all around

    Wow...doing medical research seems pretty cool! I would definitely love to do that!

    Do you have residence there and do they provide food for you? I hope they do that in exchange for your research.

    nope, most my family from hong kong (my dads side) but my mums side is from shanghai but they also live in hong kong i used to be able to speak fluent cantonese but when i went to school i had to learn english so in came one language and out went the other i know bits and bobs of cantonese though its quite embarrasing being chinese and not really being able to speak the language i mean ive lived in britain for my whole life, british don't see me as british because of my looks and chinese don't really see me as chinese becuase ive been in britain so... well i really got to restart speaking cantonese again
    Do you know what is for those feelings, when we are not chinese , not britain, no-one of them ? No home place. Homeless :cool:

    I wear glasses (or contacts). - Glasses makes me look kinda sophisticated
    Everyone else in my family (and most of my cousins) wears glasses too though, so maybe it's something to do with it. Do you wear glasses yourself?

    i think... u know how expensive the housing in hk are ,so some people are living in a small flat (compare to uk) even middle class but they still put a Huge TV in their living room, may be thats why it lead to so many ppl wear glasses i guess?! lol
