But I discovered a side of Hong Kong most people never see. Meet David, an Irish multimillionaire who has lived in Hong Kong for over 16 years. He invited me to his spacious villa with stunning sea views. Looks like a good life, right? But a few years ago, he hit rock bottom, had to start over, and managed to rebuild his life. We talked about Hong Kong’s future challenges, what “New Hong Kong” really means, and what foreigners still misunderstand about the city today. Enjoy!
