Every school vacation my family and I would travel to Hong Kong. Life in Hong Kong was so different from life in the United States. There are two distinct differences between Hong Kong and the U.S.
The first difference between Hong Kong and the U.S. is size. Hong Kong is a small island filled with tall skyscrapers. Although the U.S. has skyscrapers in its major cities, such as New York and Los Angeles, there is a lot more space in the U.S. than in Hong Kong. When I first started living in Hong Kong, I had to become accustomed with the size. Everything was smaller! In the U.S. there is so much space that everything is bigger. So size is a "big" difference between the two places.
The second difference between Hong Kong and the U.S. is the transportation system. In the U.S. it is not uncommon to own a car even if you are living in a large city like New York. However, in Hong Kong owning a car is a luxury, and not everyone can afford to have a personal car. In Hong Kong the transportation system is elaborate and a significant part of how people travel. Where as in the U.S., many people travel by driving their own cars.
Tell me about your city and/or country. How does life in the United States compare?
