The Truest Thing I've Heard in Months
I don't think that's even grammatically correct. But oh well...
Last night, I heard a very clever comment that most people seemed to tacitly recognize but never vocalized to make that scary affirmation: Hong Kong is the Sex and the City of Asia.
While it lacks the posh and glamour of the Big Apple, Hong Kong has a vibe to it that makes Relationships virtually impossible, virtual relationships possible, and produce a hoarde of frustrated romantics who can't find true love. Here's a newsflash for you: it doesn't exist.
Well, that won't be fair to the couples I know. But I also know that eventually, they will either break up or move to another country.
I'm no Carrie Bradshaw and I don't claim to be one, but you don't need to look too far to find singles support groups: I happen to have 10 girlfriends, 2 metrosexuals, and half a dozen gay men on my side to share the glory or rants with. It's great to be single in Hong Kong and enjoy it as much as possible.
