In article , PeterL says...
On a flight from HK to Bangkok I met a couple from HK who was filling up the immigration forms. In the nationality field they put "Chinese", not "Hong Kong", which was kind of interesting, because inhabitants of Hong Kong have a different passport than mainland Chinese. And how do you know they are not actually Chinese from the mainland? I asked them about that. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de/Galleries.htm - Photos from Myanmar, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Egypt, Germany, Austria, Prague, Budapest and Portugal |

Of the two, just for a place to start, I would have to say that Hong Kong would probably be of more interest to the kids than Shanghai, unless the kids are unusually (for their ages) interested in seeing places or items of cultural or historical interest. I would avoid Hong Kong, because it's basically a very crowded place full of skyscrapers with a very high population density (people, people everywhere. Not a place where to relax with kids. It's a very urban area, with not so many attractions for children. Ocean Park. They can go skating 8 floors up in the Dragon Centre Skyrink. Take the Star Ferry. Go to the Peak. Poke around Lantau.

Inhabitants of Hong Kong have different passports, depending on where they
were born and when the passport is issued. Now, two passports are commonly used here and the nationalities printed on them are different. When we use BN(O) passports, the nationality is "British National (Overseas)". When we use the SAR passport, our nationality is "Chinese". Many of us have two passports. It's like a mess sometimes because the customs would change the nationality field from "Chinese" to "Hong Kong" when we go abroad. "Alfred Molon" ??? ???... In article , PeterL says...

I know that you are not allowed to do that in the UK, but what about the EU ? -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de/Galleries.htm - Photos from Myanmar, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Egypt, Germany, Austria, Prague, Budapest and Portugal |
