I think it is even worse when in Hong Kong, it is so hot and humid that everything melts away. Paper, plastic etc - it is terrible to use paper straws for sure. I guess the only solution is bring your own cutlery set. For rental, I mean it is like that everywhere (Hong Kong or Canada) you either need a job or savings in the bank.
關於 How are you?這個句的習慣。 因為老師教我地都是用I am fine, thank you. 但我在澳洲生活時,發現他們不會講I am fine, thank you 來回應 How are you? 因為佢會直接講今日佢經歷左啲咩野,過得好唔好。 由事情來話你知佢到底今日Fine定唔Fine 。 所以我在澳洲時,都聽唔少當地人講 How are you? 但佢地真正用I am fine, thank you.來回答就只聽過一次(當地人來說)。
