Book Description
Hong Kong is famous for its vibrant, busy street scene. This book introduces us to two dozen people who provide its outdoor colour. Here you will meet a flower seller, a street musician and a tram driver; a bouncer, a shoe shiner and a gas canister delivery man; a security guard and a lifeguard; a man who makes a living climbing bamboo scaffolding, and a woman who ferries visitors around the harbour on a sampan. Among the interviewees are also mainlanders, and ethnic minorities including those from the Philippines, Africa and India, reflecting the diverse ethnic makeup of today's Hong Kong. These are the working people who are always seen but rarely heard, and in this book they tell their life stories in their own words. Sharp black-and-white portraits immerse the reader in the dynamic streetscape of Hong Kong.

Book Description
In 1997 the United Kingdom returned control of Hong Kong to China, ending the city’s status as one of the last remnants of the British Empire and initiating a new phase for it as both a modern city and a hub for global migrations. Hong Kong is a tour of the city’s postcolonial urban landscape, innovatively told through fieldwork and photography. Caroline Knowles and Douglas Harper’s point of entry into Hong Kong is the unusual position of the British expatriates who chose to remain in the city after the transition. Now a relatively insignificant presence, British migrants in Hong Kong have become intimately connected with another small minority group there: immigrants from Southeast Asia. The lives, journeys, and stories of these two groups bring to life a place where the past continues to resonate for all its residents, even as the city hurtles forward into a future marked by transience and transition. By skillfully blending ethnographic and visual approaches, Hong Kong offers a fascinating guide to a city that is at once unique in its recent history and exemplary of our globalized present.

Book Description
Moving to China or Hong Kong can be a complex, challenging experience. Not only is the language barrier daunting, but life there often appears about as foreign as it can get. China is becoming a major world player, and Hong Kong has always been a popular place for expats, but many foreigners still find it a country shrouded in mystery. Why must you never give a Chinese person a green hat or rest chopsticks vertically in a bowl? The opportunities for foreigners in China are increasing, and as a result, more people are discovering the fascinating customs, cultural treasures and exquisite landscapes that await them. Crammed with practical information, advice, and people's personal experiences, Live & Work in China will save you time and help you avoid making mistakes. This book will help you learn about the country, its culture and its people, as well as help you: * Decide whether it's right for you * Get any visas you need * Set up your new home * Understand business etiquette * Enjoy your time off
