It was wonderful to see my Hong Kong elementary schoolmates. Some of them had never interacted with me before tonight. What an excellent opportunity to know them again! The dinner gathering took place in a Korean restaurant located in Causeway Bay. Serving with fabulous Korean food, you can enjoy the nightscape of Kowloon right across Victoria Bay through the windows.
One interesting insight is that none of them are active Facebook users. Compare to the popularity in North America, Facebook does not play an important role to mid-twenty Hong Kongness. Indeed, they do not know why they don't use it much. Is it because of busy work life? Distance between people are not far? No need to interact online when meeting up is so easy? Friends are not all over the world? This is worth the time to dig in.
Majority of people might not realize that Advertising is actually a profession. I was chatting wtih my security guard on my way back home, hoping to grasp Hong Kong localist's general ponit of view towards Advertising. I realize that most people miss the piece of knowledge of how much talents it requires to support the field. I would say Hong Kongness only recognize the creative aspect of Advertising, but not so much of research and marketing. Perphas this happens not only in Hong Kong, but every place in the globe as well. Too little knowledge about Advertising; too little appreciation to the industry.
