HONG KONG

Quelle ville, malgre le froid qui me figeait apres deux mois de tropiques, j'y ai fait de merveilleuses decouvertes.
j'ai appris d'apres mon guide, une jeune femme celibataire qui visiblement cherchait un mari, nous racontait que les hommes de Hong Kong allaient , pour se marier , chercher des jeunes femmes sur le continent. Pourquoi ? elles sont tres obeissantes et soumisent en comparaison avec les jeunes femmes de Hong Kong qui sont devenues independantes, modernes et qui ne veulent pas etre sous le controle de leur mari.....Bravo! Mes Dames je vous felicite , il ne vous reste plus qu'a eduquer ces jeunes qui viennent de l'Asie profonde!
Tout en nous parlant des problemes des jeunes notre jeune femme nous a emmene vers le village de pecheurs . C'est un village sur l'eau des milliers de bateaux ou les familles y vivent a l'abri des tempetes et typhoons, toujours d'apres la guide, ces familles auront disparu d'ici quelques annees, les enfants des pecheurs ne voulant pas continuer ce metier si difficile!
Hong Kong c'est la ville du magasinage , du vrai du faux , du beau, du moche vous y trouverez de tout, sauf un mari pour notre guide.

HONG KONG GREAT CITY!

What a city! In spite of the cold which entered into the marrow of my
bones after having spent two months in the tropics, I thawed-out enough to
make some marvellous discoveries. I learned from our guide, a young single
lady who was looking for a husband, that the men of Hong Kong, went to the
continent to find young ladies to be their brides. Why go so far? She
explained that it is because they are obedient and defer to their husbands,
unlike the girls of Hong Kong who have become independent, modern, and who
do not want to be under the control of then men! Bravo! Ladies of Hong
Kong, I congratulate you, there is nothing for it but that you educate
those others from the heart of Asia!
Our young lady guide, while explaining the problems of the youths of
Hong Kong, was taking us to the village of the fisherman. It is a village
of thousands of boats on the water where the families live in the shelter
of the typhoons and storms, however, said our guide, they are in danger of
disappearing in a few years because the children of the fishermen do not
want to follow in their parents footsteps and continue with a kife-wirk
which is so difficult!
Back in town, Hong Kong is a city of shopping, the real and the fake,
the beautiful and the ugly; here you can find everything, except for a
husband for our guide ...
