Observations about Hong Kong

Hong Kong is very accommodating to visitors. People were very helpful.
Not all toilets are Western, some are just a hole in the ground. It makes for easier cleaning, I suppose.
Not all toilets have paper. Bring your own.
Some retail businesses do not open until noon or later. Some places in Mong Kok did not open til 4pm!
Asian people are beautiful.
Men dominate business transactions. I was completely ignored in some situations.
The Temple night market is the BEST!
Buildings are industry-specific. There will be dozens of electronics vendors all in one building. The next building will be fashion. The next will be shoes - and so on.
Parking etiquette is different. We saw a line of cars waiting for a spot in front of a public lot. One car would pull into the lot and wait until a spot became available. All the other cars would wait in the street until it was their turn to pull into the lot.
There are no napkins on the tables. Bring your own.
