Further more if you think that business from expats and foreigners are enough to sustain such a healthy trade in HK then you are very naive. How often do you see expats or foreigners go mongering? Do you see white guys queuing up outside brothels, NO they are chinese!! Just compare the size of the chinese side of the forum and this side and you will know that Fei_cock you are full of shit.
actually...this is no indication that chinese people monger more than the expats, HK populations IS majority chinese/asian people...and one chinese person may only monger 1-2 times a month as what feicock says...but keep in mind..there's still be hundreds/thousands..or more chinese that does the same thing...hence the amount of chinese/asian people queueing outnumbered the expats/foreigners.
i do believe that foreigner on a mission...will be doing alot more mongering than local people...due to some fact as such...
time constrain(he won't be coming back in a while... do as much as he can while he's here)
he's here on holiday(well...it's almost known to all westerners tht mongering is much cheaper in asia(except japan))...almost like buy 1 get one free deal back home

and some other things..
but from wht feicock says..it's like saying ALL hk people earn just that much money..which is crazy....being such a well developed city and practically an international hub...there are people...and alot of them....that earn more that what he stated.
