A Freelance English Copywriter in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is an exciting city to live in. I'm based out of Causeway Bay, which is right in the middle of all the action. My shoebox apartment is one block from Times Square, which is twice as bustling as its counterpart in New York. I think my neighborhood is one of the most densely populated in the world. It is quite intense to go from a town of 4500 people to a city of 7 million. I like the contrast.
