Fast-paced Metropolis Like any other major cities in the world (e.g. Tokyo & New York), Hong Kong prides herself on her economic success in recent decades, climbing to the very top to become one of the most renown International Financial Center. Here, you will see skyscrapers everywhere, housing numerous offices belonging to various companies and associations. Busy businessmen can be found hustling on the streets, making phone calls and making preparation for upcoming meetings. The emphasis for speed and efficiency is not limited to businesses though. Instead, it is naturally ingrained into the minds of people in this city. May it be our pace of walking, talking, or the impressive efficiency of public transport and infrastructure system, Hong Kong is surely one of the “fastest” cities you can find around in the world. Hustle and bustle of Mong Kong. (Pixabay)
