RE: Witnessing Hong Kong. No comments attached.
Woah, super jealous. Never been to Hong Kong or China, definitely on the list.
Were you there for any specific reason? It would be cool to be able to witness the protests going on there.
Vacation. I was witnessing mainland China and Macau + Hong Kong, pretty much same trip as Clinton did back in the days.
Sounds pretty awesome. So were the protests and financial burdens as intense as the media is portraying them to be?
Well, I can't answer that, I promised. ;-)
I think it depends on media you chose.
For example, I saw on TV that there's Europe on fire.
When I was in Crimea during the referendum, I tunneled into the USA via VPN and viewed news as it was there. Nothing could have been further from the truth about what the reality was in Crimea VS what was portrayed on the news. It really made me distrust media with absolute certainty, that's why I was asking about how you perceived Hong Kong.
Comparing Crimea with Hong Kong isn't reasonable. There was like 1.5 million people in the largest protest.
I'm not comparing them. I'm talking about western media misrepresenting and putting a spin on news and the reality of situations.
