    Yep. You would know best.

    I see, Shanghai as socialist, with a *free market* touch. That's why I didn't say capitalist.

    Hong Kong on the other hand, is a little different; more liberal. A Yao FAN /Newgirl, what's different living in HK, vs Shanghai?

    im not yao fan or newgirl but ive lived in both...
    hong kong is more material and people have a lot more money, on the weekends, the rich folk drive their ferraris and sportscars around (on weekdays its the benz or beemer), theres also a larger pop culture in hk. shanghai is a mix of the new generation which is into pop and commercialism but there are still some old folks who havent quite gotten into it yet. although HK usually has newer things for sale, id rather visit shanghai because things can get so cheap + in some areas you can bargain. and you can get dvds of any movie you want for a dollar(whereas in HK its a little more expensive and harder to find) , but of course i do not engage is such illegal activity...

    So, Shanghai has more market feel, vs the close-windowed store fronts of HK?

    Don't shed a tear. The RIAA and MPAA have turned into the modern day Gestapo here in the US. I mean, hell! There're movies and music. They are treating Britney Spears like they are national secrets!

    Give me a break!

    LOL! And driver is sleeping! (as someone has already noticed)

    Shanghai is beautiful!

    They are becoming industrialized with a lot of technology and advancements....

    Okay. So how is this related to the Rockets?

    I've visited Hong Kong, but when I was there you couldn't visit the mainland China. I regret that, because it would be nice to compare what it was like then to what it's like now. :)
