RE: what are the winters like?

Hong Kong temperature is misleading - I am from Canada. I am "colder" in Hong Kong. Why? Shopping malls, workplaces, schools, homes are all heated. Homes are insulated so it may be -10c outside but inside you are nice and warm.

Hong Kong has no insulation anywhere and no heating anywhere. You need to buy a space heater and aim it at you and blast it all night. And there is no insulation so when you turn that heater off it's cold again.

You go to school - not heated, the mall, not heated. So some years here your teeth are chattering - you look at the temperature and it may be 7-10c so you think that's not that bad but it is because there is no place to go where it is warm.

And then from like May to November, you have your air conditioner(s) on all the time because it's so damn humid here. It's November 30 and I still have my Aircon on. My place is 600 square feet and I have three air conditioners! All the hot water is on-demand style, and stoves are typically gas stoves not electric. Although there is one electric element on my stove.
