Not HK-born, but if I were: Would I move for miserable weather and a chance to get mugged? Not really. However, throw in a near-100% probability of becoming a citizen of a vicious totalitarian regime within my lifetime, and you’ve got me thinking…
- callamdelaney 6y agoThanks to global warming the miserable weather is becoming less of an issue, right guys? Also the mugging isn't really a problem outside of London bubble; which is where most UK HN'ers are posting from.
- supernova87a 6y agoOn the "only London" point, really? I lived in the UK for several years and I was constantly reading news about city centre louts across the country stealing people's phones, harassing people, making life unpleasant and the police not being able to do anything about it. That, and the cost of living in the UK so high, for such modest/low quality of life. Don't get me started on hot/cold separate water faucets. You can tell I didn't exactly enjoy my time there.
