Teena,
I "complained" that Hong Kongers were "hostile" to me, even though I look just like them. Things just are "different" in Asia. For example, waitstaff would stand by your table, almost glaring at you while you're paying for your dinner. They seemed so impatient to me. At least the service charge is included...This only happens even at some of the higher end restaurants. Privacy isn't something more traditional Asians believe in...
