About 6,000 local ethnic minorities are from German-speaking countries such as Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Daniela and Robin from Germany have chosen to live here, in a small and cramped place like Hong Kong, exactly because of its size and the convenience it affords. They both have been working hard to learn Chinese in order to communicate with the locals. Through a common language, they hope to become genuine Hong Kong residents. Though Pietro (from Switzerland) and Henry and Wilhelm(from Austria) do not speak Chinese, they decided to live in Hong Kong most of all because they really love this cosmopolitan city’s energy and concentrated accessibility, to which no other city comes close. A few enthusiastic German speaking ladies have devoted to publish “in HK”, a German-language magazine. It is all about what it is like to live in Hong Kong, even if you speak only German, you can still have a glimpse at the local customs, traditions, food, shopping, transport, and everyday life.
