A couple days ago I posted an entry entitled Hong Kong: “A Public Transportation Paradise.” I received a very interesting comment from a recent visitor from France. Here it is. Remember English is not his native language but he communicates very well.
“Glad to read once a positive and almost enthousiastic comment !
