Culture in Hong Kong!!!






As many of you already know, I am a huge fan of soccer. I rep Brazil, the best team ever. I have enjoyed different soccer games in Vietnam and hoped to do the same in Hong Kong.



Thankfully, that is not too hard. Hong Kong citizens are huge soccer fans as well. The other day, as I walked around Time Square in Hong Kong, I saw many Asians piled up at a square with their heads up. Right there attached to a building was a huge TV screen with a soccer game live (see 1st pic). It seems that life stops here whenever a team is playing. I guess it is great for the Hong Kong economy then, that most of the soccer games fall between 7:30 pm and 4 am.



I am currently sitting in the Cafe of my hotel, watching the Ghana-Australia soccer game. Most of the Asian people here are cheering for Ghana. The score is 1-1. I guess when it comes to Asian solidarity, Australia is not included.
