(And in general, like you, I'll take Hong Kong over mainland China any day!)

I was enjoying it at first and then inexplicably lost interest when the characters started their journey of getting lost in Hong Kong. It could simply be that I've gradually developed an anti-China bias because of my fondness for Hong Kong (and also Taiwan).
