 Interview 3 Excuse me sir, I'm a student after Hong Kong Polytechnic University and I'm carrying out the survey. May I ask you a few questions? Sure. Where are you from? Australia. Is this your first visit to Hong Kong? Is Hong Kong your only destination? Well, it's my first time here and I was in Tokyo, Taipei and then Seoul. So matter of fact, I'll be leaving for Bangkok tomorrow and going to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore next week. Now, it certainly is an exotic trip going to so many Asian cities. Which would you say could be described as a world-class city? Among those I've been to so far, I'd say Tokyo in terms of technology. Tokyo is not only ahead of the other Asian cities but actually ahead of the world. You can see the most advanced facilities and inventions everywhere, even in the washroom. I've seen this toilet that helps to clean the user and itself. What impressed me is how technology is so much part of everybody's life. So you mean technology is not the privilege just of the rich? Exactly. And the general public have a more convenient, easier life. It's high-tech everywhere at an affordable price. And Tokyo is now as much a trendset as Paris or London. More Japanese designers are gaining international recognition. And they always surprised the world. That's right. In Tokyo you can also see an interesting juxtaposition and fusion of the east and west. Women wearing kimonos carry Prada and Gucci bags. It's proof of their fashion sense as well as their standard of living. Well, thank you very much for your time. I hope you have a wonderful trip.
