Copy Watch?

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (as it is officially known) consists of the New Territories (a greenish buffer bordering the rest of China), a range of Outer Islands, the Kowloon peninsula, and Hong Kong Island. The last two contain the major urban areas of the region. Do you want to know how to tell which one you are in?

In some places -- typically around the hotels and near the tourist-heavy areas like the Star Ferry pier -- it's like running a gauntlet, and somewhat amazing that you can turn down 4 of these hawkers within five yards and still be approached by a fifth who must have seen you try to ignore or wave off the others.
