I'm legally (but not totally) blind so the dense population is appealing since I probably don't need a car. The love for Westerners is a plus, and my International Relations major with a Mandarin Chinese minor means HK could be a goldmine for jobs.

You can be legally blind but still see within a certain distance, I think in the UK it is seven feet.
Daniel Jackson
I can see distances up to about 20 feet before shit gets blurry.
Anthony Williams
REEEEE. We're in a global economy, slavshit. Being multilingual and a good public speaker is more important than you think.

I'm competing against other Americans for jobs in the American government or in PR roles for American multinational corporations, so, yeah, it's pretty good.
James Rogers
wtf i cant see anything within 1/2 a foot. does that mean I'm legally blind?
Anthony Hall
is that with or without glasses?
Brandon Kelly
They speak Cantonese by the way. and I have the same major as you. Don't bother. I ended up in mainland.
Michael Sanders
oops i meant to say i can only see without glasses
Wyatt Wood
then you aren't legally blind. you have to have 20/200 vision WITH glasses to be legally blind.
Brandon Campbell
The two languages are close to mutual intelligibility. Learning Cantonese after studying Mandarin a few years should be very straightforward. They're not quite close enough to be dialects, but the gap is really small like Dutch to Afrikaans.
Sebastian Barnes
cantonese is obviously bigger there but for getting a job mandarin is probably best because most hkers speak enough english to get by but mainlanders don't. Other than it's really expensive but a really nice city. >t. born and raised in HK AMA
