I dunno just a theory, I've never been to HK myself and the closest I get to that kind of asian culture is like Aberdeen and Yaohan centre which is a walk in the park compared to how they do things in HK so I'm told. |
ahaha. thats just the layer cake. u'd be better off in HK with canto. speaking fluent mandarin just indicates you're a mainlander and the general population usually disrespect them. but ye i was there 2 summers ago and a TM mp5A4 was merely $900 HKD with battery. The salesperson was super chill about telling me more about them... while eating his lunch.definitely worth it to make a trip to the gun street in mong kok if you're in HK already.
