回復 夜墨宸 的帖子
Many years ago (10+years), most school uses english as a medium for all lessons (as HK was once a colony of the British so everyone had to learn english). Putonghua was taught in school but we just had 1/2 lessons a week so didn't learn much. I think the majority of older people can speak english better than putonghua.
However, for the younger generation, their putonghua level should be better (as we're back to China so more emphasis is put on learning chinese). I know some schools have already start using putonghua as a medium to teach Chinese.
I guess the hotel industry as well as the service industry will only hire people who can speak fluent putonghua as a large portion of customers are from mainland China.
I can read some of the Chinese in simplified version but not all as we're still using繁體中文 in HK.
Well, it's not for long that Chinese will become a very important language. I know some family friends studying in North America and they can now pick Chinese as their 2nd language choice.
My colleague also recommended 清境農場 and told me that there're many special 民宿 but it's just too far from where we were planning to go so we didn't go there.
So the mainland china people didn't give you any tips. Maybe they don't give tips in China, like Japan, not sure though. Or maybe you're just unlucky!
