Time changed la...  
today 大陸人 ??  RICH RICH RICH .. CASH CASH CASH ..  always look down us, hongers ..

But what can we hongers do? we are just minority ..   they hv money, power, and they speak mandarin ..   Hongers?? we speak cantonese ja ..    people " know us mice " mei ..


Just example ..  15 yr ago, when I went 5 ave NY for shopping, when those sales saw me, a young chinese ..  they didn't really serve me much ..  even I asked for help ..  first thing they asked ( not as polite ) - " Oh, are you chinese?? or japanese ?? "  when I said " yes ..  I am chinese ..  "  then they will say " Ok ..  feel free to look around .. "  then walked away, not even wanted to deal with me ..  

So ..  then when I was asked the same question, I said " I am from Hong Kong .. "  then those sales response change ..  much better .. and usually said " oh, HK ! nice place, so .. are you going to buy something?? bluh bluh bluh "

One time, my answer was " I am japanese ..  "   then I got world class service ..  ( again, 15 yr ago )

Back then, my uncle told me, most shop in NY, only liked Japanese clients (as asian) and didn't care chinese, since chinese wouldn't buy anything at all ..  Hongers and taiwanese ..  not bad at all ..  


TODAY?? same thing, walk in to shopping area in 5 ave ..  some "mandarin" speaking sales will come appoach ..  as long as I told them I am just a hongers ..  I can tell from their faces ..  not smiling anymore ..    (those sales, are actually hongers most the time!)

It is same now no matter you go Japan .. HK .. NY .. Europe ..  as long as you speak mandarin ... and put your OVERSIZE LV wallet in you under arm .. you will get great service ..

What can we ( hongers ) do? pretend mainlanders ??  mainlanders are rich ... and powerful ( at least, that is what they think ) so they can speak loud .. and no need to be polite ...
