).Haha.... LOL... I prefer going there during Mid November.... =) Was there on the 2 coldest day of the year last year.... Ngong Ping 360's temperature hits 9 C.... LOL.... and downhill is about 12 - 14 C..
I went once during March.... its so hazy....

Nah... they can speak Mandarin de.... just that English is preferred (though their Mandarin is better than their English)...
In restaurants and char chan teng, just order in Mandarin...
Especially when you go to tourist destinations.... speak English.... cos to them... PRCs speak Mandarin.... other chinese speak cantonese... =)
Especially at The Peak and Ocean Park.... PRCs have a dedicated queue, as compared to OTHERS... because the PRCs went there and cut queue all the time... that they have to limit their numbers.... -_-" -

Cold weather is ok... but when the winds starting to blow... the temp drops further...

Which country have you visited the most?
China
Hong Kong is not a country; it's a state in China

LOL... I went with a friend... we managed to get a Filipino couple to take a photo for us .... as they happened to ask us to take a photo for them... so it was quite nice... I believe we spoke in half Mandarin half English and they felt comfortable getting us to take pictures for them... LOL...
