That is great.

I am happy to hear that. (Or see it, rather.

)
Living in Hong Kong, HKSAR is a dream of mine. As a matter of fact, Japan is the only other place I would rather be.

I don't think it is funny, but instead I think it is TERRIBLE. That virus is going to harm an already-damaged Asian economy.

Hong Kong will suffer; Japan will suffer (Not from the virus but from a downed economy); Singapore will suffer. I love Asia; I want to live in Asia; I don't want to see it harmed.

Notice my use of Mr. Semicolon? I am stuck on him....

How much would it be in Hong Kong dollars or whatever they use?

HK$159.99 is only about US$20.51, so it seems like they probably were using HK Dollars. That just depends on where Red got that.

It does seem reasonable that it is in HK$, since I don't see why they would be selling them here.

20 bucks is still a bit pricey.
