Don’t Leave Without Learning A Little Cantonese

While many Hong Kong nationals speak English very well, there are still some that won’t understand you. Do yourself a favor and don’t leave without learning a little Cantonese. Yes, it’s a hard language to learn, but a few phrases can get you a long way, especially when attempting to converse with taxi drivers. Have the concierge in your hotel write down some useful phrases and use them whenever possible. Not only will you evoke a few smiles from the Hong Kongers, but you’ll be able to bring back a bit of this astounding city with you when you’re finally on your way back home.
