Thanks for sharing this based on your personal experience. The locals here don't understand how lucky they are, and always thinks the grass is greener on the other side. I've had way too many personal experiences overseas counting from robbery, racial slurs, break and enter, car theft, flasher, candy man ....just to name a few. They will never understand the context of this until they personally experience this first hand.

thx MsFoodie🤣🤣🤣 This is something we get asked a lot, but we are free to answer to frankly for fear that it might scare people off... But like we mentioned in the text, you're not supposed to take the lifestyle you have in one place (Hong Kong) and apply it straight to another place (London). It just doesn't work. The culture in these 2 places are not the same. And when you factor in question of race, that can lead to a number of other problems that may or may not be safety related. In the English video, we touched upon real life muggings, can related crimes in the states, which are not anything we ever encounter in Hong Kong.

Been all over the world, lived in quite a few parts as well. HK has good personal security due to the dense population and because we can afford a large police force. However, in the US , Canada , Australia it really depends on the area in which you reside. Buying the smallest house in the best area is always better than living in a mansion in the bad neighbourhood. Then again, it is no where near the sense of danger in certain parts of Cambodia, Malaysia, China, Phillipines etc. I remember being surrounded by hundreds of crooks with weapons in the police station in China, and when I visited my Chinese friends in Myanmar, we had two armed bodyguards and I was given a handgun for security. In Africa the hotels are protected by guards with machine guns at night. Believe me, England and Australia seems nice in comparison.

Very interesting topic for discussion Sarah & Jason! I live in Sydney myself and really agree with how dead the city is even at 6pm... and I definitely dont feel 100% safe everytime I have to take the train home after a night out back to the suburbs... Having restaurants/shops open till late in HK forms a kind of "passive surveillance", creating a safe feeling for pedestrians which is exactly what Sydney lacks!!

London Sydney hmmm so so

係澳洲,我身邊嘅人好多都畀人入屋偷嘢, 短期旅行或至食一餐飯嘅時間都可以爆架, 所以我諗到啲屎橋, 方法如下。 第一買定cctv系統, 你見到條友入嚟嘅時候再發聲同佢講 how may i help you? 你上鏡嘞, 警察好快會到, 祝你逃亡旅途愉快~ take care mate ~ 第二開定時間制嘅燈係有一定作用嘅, 但係都要人幫你收信, 如果唔係信箱會出賣你~ 第三 與其預防,不如坦然接受, 你要偷咪偷囉,我開門~你想要乜~攞去, 我間屋都冇值錢嘢( 冇金同鑽石), 我又買曬保險, 你偷車又得,偷雪櫃,電視,ipad亦得,得咗~ 你偷咗我有新嘢用,偷!偷! 快啲偷!
Have been living in Australia for over 40 years. Never had my place been burglarized. Been living in strata units and apartments. These days, there are lots of security features one can install both outdoor / indoor for safety and security purposes. I am sorry, but the comparations made between HK ( a colony) and other western countries are not appropriate.

hmm...... i don't quite agree with your statement regarding safety issues.... if you expect HK lifestyle in Sydney i think it's bit unreasonable. Sydney's lifestyle is when people finish work, they go home, only some will stay for dinner in restaurants and mostly will finish around 9-10pm.... so if you to go out and walk around @ midnight and expecting nightlife in the city then you've gone to the wrong place

thx William for your msg! I think the point is we're not expecting life to be the same as that we used to in Hong Kong. And often being asked about the question of safety abroad, we left not knowing how to answer, because the culture and the environment a completely different. When answering this question, we're trying to answer what people are most concerned about, and that's personal safety.

They’re referring to the sense of safety even when you walk on the street alone at night. The streets can be deserted and quiet or crowded like a night market and you can still feel safe regardless of what time of the day it is.

This brings back my teenage memories. I visited a public toilet in a park near Chatswood, Sydney by myself around midday one Saturday. While I was in the cubicle, I could see from the bottom in between the partition that it was a man because the boot size is huge and obviously not for ladies. I was so scared that I finished immediately what I was doing and rushed my way out in 10 seconds. All my expat friends and colleagues in HK think it’s very safe here and they really enjoy the city here.

@@sarahjasonchan I remember when walking through Frankfurt when it became dark, It was most of the time a struggle to walk through Hauptwache (downtown area) alone without people wanted to fight me or getting aggressive towards me even as a male. A female friend got even punched in the face and her purse got stolen once when she walked through the Hauptwache alone in Frankfurt. This will definitely not happen in Central, HK on a day to day basis as compared to Frankfurt which is a much smaller city. That’s the reason I never looked back since coming to HK 11 years ago. Personal safety is my most important factor for choosing a place to stay and live.

Safety worldwide is a problem, and I suppose we all have to deal with it whenever we live. But some places are more serious than others, especially in countries where gun ownership is commonplace.

Thanks for sharing! I think in the western world, you need to be in affluent suburbs to get the same feeling of security that you get in all the normal areas in HK. For an average person with an average income, HK has much less crime, especially violent crime. That's not to say HK is better (far from it--the home sizes and home supply are terrible) but every place has its pros and cons.

I lived in New York for the past 30 years and there was one incident when my next door neighbor came over and asked us to call the police because they thought someone broke in. When the police came, they actually asked us whether someone indeed was in that house. We were like "Why don't you go in and check?" And guess what the cops said...."No! I am not going in!" After pacing around for 30 minutes or so, they finally went into the house. Of course, by then anyone who had been in there was already long gone......
