China and Hongkong conflict......?

China and Hongkong conflict......?
Ok, I'm a high school student. A school representative election is underway, one of the nominees is a Mandarin chinese boy (a nice guy really), but this person that I know who is cantonese (hongkong). He's somewhat really upset, it's like he hates china(mainland). He says all these things about china is communists and if the madarin boy wins the election it would be like chairman Mao back in WWII in china. And all these things about he likes england and freedom blah blah and how Mainland China are bunch of sh*t. This is really start to annoy me now as I'm a mainland chinese, I don't really care much about all this, but any suggestions to deal with this??? *Plus this hong kong cantonese person runs around school, posting things on facebook saying bad things about china and stuff.....I'm not saying Im up set, but it's really bugging me out.

Remind your friend that you aren't in China anymore.

Mandarin is a language. There is no such thing as a Mandarin boy. Mandarin speaking boy, maybe. Similarly, Cantonese can refer to the language or to the people from Guangzhou. A Cantonese Hong Kong person makes no sense. Again, you can say a Cantonese speaking person from HK.

if it's bugging u so much, you could kick his @ss . . . but for what reason? just because he said somethin u don't like? yur image would drop pretty low & kids wouldn't like you. you just have to accept there are people in hong kong & the world who are bltches. after being a british colony, there are cantonese who love being britain's gimp and feel having britain rule over HK would be better than self rule & independence just call him a "british dog," i bet most kids at school would agree - without violent commies storming the british embassy and making brits kneel on glass and bltch slap them across the face, you think the British would give back HK willingly? - second, you should feel proud mainland china doesn't hold stupid elections. here in the US, politicians are poor, so they have to beg corporations and bankers to give them money to run for election and pay the media to run their commericals. after they win, they have to repay their debts to capitalists democratic government are just puppet gov'ts. china gives tax rebates to it's lower class citizens. canada and the US has to bail out bankers on wall street bottom line, if democracy is so successful? why is india so f**ked up even when they had a 60 year head start on democracy? - if that guy likes england so much, tell him to go to england and wear a kilt like the gay scots anyway, happy 60 year anniversary.

Do you have to stay on HK island? With the subway system the whole area is easily gotten to. Anne Black Guest House (YMCA) is available for USD 48 per night for the dates you are to be there. Anything else ON HK island would be USD10-20 more per night. For that difference and maybe a 10 minute subway ride would be worth the difference. It's right near KCR train station if you wanted to go to Shenzhen too. It is a 10 minute walk to the Subway station. Most hotels on HK island are 5-10 minutes walks also. http://www.asiarooms.com/hong_kong/hong_kong/anne_black_guest_house_%28ywca%29-hotel-location.html Here is the website to the Hong Kong Tourism Board http://www.discoverhongkong.com/usa/index.jsp It has many things you want, subway routes, how to's, etc. I think it is nicer to look upon HK island from Kowloon side than vice versa. You can use www.asiarooms.com to find a different hotel if you'd like. Or try Kayak.com or Sidestep.com Good luck

Reliable online booking http://www.asiarooms.com http://www.discoverhongkong.com http://www.hotelclub.com http://www.hongkonghotels i actually recommend also http://www.xanga.com/shamrockhotel

Yes I know exactly I stayed at Wharney Guang Dong Hotel 6 months ago it's cheap and very very clean about 700 HK$ a night. And another hotel is BP international about 650 HK$ but price may vary during peak seasons. If you want to go to Disneyland the cheapest way is to take MRT just ask people around once you at MRT station most of Hong Kong people speak little english and would love to help you out.

Usually the companies or agencies that sponsored your research sponsor your presentation. Sometimes the educational institutes have funds for sponsoring. You should meet or talk with your department head.

you don't need visa for Hong Kong if your going to HongKong. it's very safe there now that the British are no longer sucking up the money
2 :
If you are in an ASEAN country visiting another ASEAN country then a visa is not necessary ... unless you are staying longer than 10 days.
3 :
No visa or entry permit is required for any purpose if you hold any of the following travel documents: Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Passport, British National (Overseas) Passport, Hong Kong Certificate of Identity, Hong Kong Re-entry permit (for entry from the Mainland of China and the region of Macau only), Hong Kong Seaman's Identity Book, Hong Kong Document of Identity for Visa Purposes provided that the document is valid or the holder's limit of stay in Hong Kong has not expired. Travel documents bearing one of the following endorsements: "Holder's eligibility for Hong Kong permanent identity card verified." "The holder of this travel document has the right to land in Hong Kong. (Section 2AAA, Immigration Ordinance, Cap. 115, Laws of Hong Kong)" Hong Kong Permanent Identity Card.

Hong Kong is an interesting place and whether or not you need a visa for a visit depends on your citizenship (which country's passport you hold). Most "western" countries can visit HK without a visa, however citizens of some countries do require a visa even for a short visit (and you need to apply beforehand). Here's a link to a very good page (official HK government) that explains this and has a list of countries that do and do not need a visa to HK - http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/hkvisas_4.htm According to this page Myanmar citizens DO need a visa to travel to HK (when you go to the page, scroll down till you see a chart with all the countries). Here's another good page on Hong Kong - http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/index.jsp http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/mustknow/information/index.jhtml http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/contactus.htm This page below says that anyone from/in Taiwan can apply for a permit/visa at one of the authorized Airline Offices - http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/hkvisas_6.htm so you'll need to find a travel agency or an airline that works with HK and apply through them Good luck!
