Happy luna new year jaw. Yeah there has been some nasty stuff floating about totally forgetting that those in mainland China are the ones mostly suffering from lack of information and the immediate threat of the virus.
hand sanitizer as old out at every place I tried today. -
The racism was certainly an eye opener here when we arrived, that was 8 months before the protests but it was still a thing. Mainlanders are branded “uneducated, ill mannered, spitting, urinating in public, smoking anywhere and rude”, basically everything brits consider the French to be but without the beret, onions and striped top.

Here in Singapore arrival checks are common practice
When I first went to Singapore they were checking for dirty western hippies. Long hair and beards were not allowed. Men with hair touching their collar or longer were offered the choice of no entry or a session with the shears.

Happy lunar new year LFGSS!
Here in Singapore arrival checks are common practice, first case(s) admitted but otherwise business as usual. They’re definitely a panicky bunch but then again I wasn’t here during SARS. Fingers crossed it’ll all blow over very quickly.
HK economy sounds messed up enough as it is, a SARS like pandemic is the last thing they need.
The only thing I’ll add to the conversation is that the obvious racism towards the mainland Chinese is heading towards a whole new level atm - all ethnicities chipping in too. It almost makes Nigel Farage sound like mother Theresa.
