... a bit worried about not fitting or doing something to insult ...
No-one actually answered your question. Here it is:-
Don't worry. Being an outsider gets you more breaks, not fewer. In fact, in many quarters it gets you an unfair advantage, as a stranger is assumed to have super-powers that normal mortals don't have. Especially in sex. Why is that? Who cares - go with the flow. Heck you can even see personals that are specifically targetting out-of-town visitors for a fling ...
Nobody's going to care if you use the wrong chopstick first, or you wear the wrong shoes, or laugh at the wrong jokes. And if you try to say "thank you" in Chinese and your accent makes you tell them to fuck their granny instead they'll just roll on the floor laughing.
HK is a cosmopolitan city, full of people visiting from all over the world, and (compared to most other cities) visitors are made very welcome. If someone does get offended by anything you do, all you have to do is notice and apologise, it can then become a topic of conversation.
Do your thing, enjoy yourself.
