Dutch is different from HKnese

When you come here for a month, you will finally discover that people in Hong Kong are really efficicent. I just came across a number of incidents which were not pleasant at all.

When I first came here and visited the housing company, they were slow in handling cases. And they were not friendly at all.

I got into the room, thinking everything was fine. Then I discovered that there was no Internet in my room. I reported to the student manager and gradually the building manager. I went to the building company to complaint about it. Finally, I got the problem fixed after nearly 3 weeks by switching room to the campus.

I applied for the ATM card from ING bank on 31 Aug. But I did not manage to get it today. Now it is already 16 Sep. And you need to wait for the monthly statement after a week or so to get the switch code for transferring money from HK to here.I also doscoveredd very interesting thing!The ING bank is also a post office. So strange.

They do things slow. We do things fast.

Maybe that's something we called a part of cultural shock. We preceive/ value time differently. There is a very good Chinese proverbs "皇帝唔急太監急".

Hope everything is fine.
