Like a bull in a China shop….

by Nicole Webb

My latest piece as Columnist for Expat Focus

bull-in-a-china-shop

If you have a tendency to feel a little on the claustrophobic side, there’s every chance you’ll find the pulsating energy of Hong Kong suffocating (initially).

In fact, even if you don’t mind being in a tight squeeze, you’re bound to find it a little intense if, like me, you weren’t brought up in the ‘crush’ that is ASIA.

Declared one of the most densely populated cities in the world, there are on average 25,900 people, squashed like sardines, into each and every square kilometer.

In some areas, there are 92,000 people per square kilometer (phew)! Yep, it’s what you might call over-crowded!
