Talk:Culture of Hong Kong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Leisure time
Hong Kongers traditionally spend their leisure time playing games There should be other activities as well, like watching traditional yuet drama (whatever that's called in English), drinking tea (yum cha), horse racing (depending on whether you include activities that started in the past century as "traditional" enough)
There should be some mention of more contemporary activities like watching movies, karaoke, etc.

- Sounds like you probably know enough to add them yourself, Sydney. Do it, do it! :) I checked and there's even a yum cha article to link to.
- From what I've heard, it seems gambling ought to be included as well... certainly betting on horses, anyway. Or is that just a stereotype?
- By yuet drama, would you mean some variety of what's called "Chinese opera"? At any rate, I understand opera still has a significant presence and following in HK. But I don't think I know enough about it to write it up. Theater in general would be a good topic for a paragraph.
- Television certainly should be discussed here. I could probably do enough quick research to add a few decent sentences, but I'd rather throw it out there for someone who knows more than I.

[edit] Cuisine
The fact the article are just crumbled together, I would appreciate if somebody will categorized. Then once again, Hong Kong doesn't limited from just Chinese and British Cuisine. They have a bunch of Korean, Japanese, European and South East Asian cuisine plus tons of local dish dishes sitting in Hong Kong too.--MeowKun 14:39, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mongkok poppycock
Someone has added two lines about 'Mongkok culture'. Surely this is trivial and should be deleted? Does anybody want to retain it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Earthlyreason (talk • contribs) 2007-03-26 08:05:07.
