Hong Kong is one of China's Special Administrative Regions, or 'SARs'.
I'm sorry if the above sentence is too esoteric. Think PG, asians, and PG spam.
Topic: does your country / city / town / hamlet have any interesting quirks which are retroactively indicative of something in the country / hamlet / village?
Topic2: do you actually live in a hamlet? What is it like?
I live in a hamlet. It's very serene and quiet, but also very boring. I don't think our hamlet has any interesting quirks which are retroactively indicative of the hamlet.
My town was the first place in the world to have an official YMCA building. Or maybe just in England. World/England....same difference.
I live in a town. It's very busy and noisy, but also very boring. I don't think our town has any interesting quirks which are retroactively indicative of the town.
My city is famous for smurf all.
You guys are living in boring places. I suggest you live in Mount Gay, West Virginia.
I wouldn't describe my current state as "living" to be honest. I'm merely occupying this space until someone else comes along. I hate it here and want to leave.
What in the world is a hamlet? Makes me think of hammocks. :D
My small town of Tullamore (14,000 people) produces the Irish Whiskey 'Tullamore Dew'!

The city in which I live has the the tallest free-standing building in the southern hemisphere.
My hometown has the steepest street in the world.

Where I'm from, you can get shot while you gettin' shot while you gettin' shot while your waitin' for your first of the month check...:(
Hey, I don't even live in a city. My town made glass and mined coal. Oh the JOY.
Makes me think of Shakespeare. :) And cigars. :DQuote:

A lone nun sat herself outside the cathedral to protest about this filming in sacrosanct territory. Obviously the rest of the convent didn't give a smurf. :p
Also, Tom Hanks ate lobster in my friend's restaurant, which is round the corner from the cathedral.
I live in the suburbs now. Quite quiet, and depressing...
I live here.
A hamlet is a place that's too small to be considered a village. I'm thinking Pulaski (not too far from here) might be considered a hamlet. It's too small to have its census data and stuff recorded on Wikipedia, and as far as I can tell it only consists of one street.
well in like 1910-1930 or something... our town's motto was "Essex: The Florida of Canada... Without the Palm Trees" lol. As you were entering the town, it said that on a huge sign. When I heard about that I was like "how lame..."
