In many ways, Ordinary Gweilo is very ordinary. This blogger, Chris, writes about ordinary things in his not so extraordinary life living in New Territories --- shopping; complaints about the price of this and that; how to save money on this and that; who says this, who says that; the weather, good or bad; what's in the newspapers; TV; football, etc., etc.

        Chris is mild-mannered and can string together some decent British sentences with regional flavor, albeit his grammar is debatable in some circles. He also seems to be sensitive and in tune with the changes that are going on in Hong Kong. Unlike some of his peers, he is aware that the Union Jack is not flying on top of those HK governmental buildings anymore.

        Sham-Shui-Po Boy says, not all Gweilo are the same, and Chris is not a bawdy character --- he is a bit different, though he is one of the boys in his close circle of expat blogging friends, who have a cavalier attitude and try hard to live up to their stereotype.

        Chris understands this, but his friends need to know that regardless of their feelings toward China and her people, Hong Kong is China's sovereignty, one-country-two-systems notwithstanding; they're guests on Chinese soil. And no one is beyond reproach.
