What else I learned in Hong Kong•Families really only have one or at the
most two children•They drive on the left side of the road•They don’t believe in “ladies first”•They won’t open the door for you•The food is horrible- really•Starbucks is everywhere•They play Christmas music and decorate
buildings
What else I learned in Hong Kong•All signs are in Mandarin Chinese and
English•After a while you learn to decipher the
signs•It’s very clean- n0 trash anywhere•Restrooms, called toilets, are everywhere•People don’t walk on one side in each
direction-anything goes•Most men and women wear black•They bow by slightly inclining their necks
What else I learned in Hong Kong• Asian parents are very involved in their child’s
education- they are constantly at school• There are lots of American teachers in Asian
countries on 3-5 year assignments• Some of the international teachers, esp. the
ones from Germany refuse to use technology and believe that they should teach the way they have been teaching for 200 years- why change what works?
• The international teachers are not too concerned about their retirement- job advancement/satisfaction is their goal
