Got to love the simplicity and brilliance of the US cities. The grid system makes for the easiest big cities to navigate through. The three most impressive are Chicago, Phoenix and Las Vegas but most major US cities use the grid system to a large extent and are interrupted only by bodies of water and mountains. The first city shown in this video with the title is Chicago.

"Hong Kong - Busiest city , best skyline and one of the world's three best harbors, niche global city , economically center of asia"

Things I don't agree:

HK is the economic center of asia (Looks like Tokyo, Shanghai really have to step a side)
Hong Kong has best skyline (One word: Bullshyt)
HK is the busiest city (Ya right...)
HK is one of the world's best three harbours (Amsterdam, Lushun, SG)

among all the cities shown, 01:39 (NY),
05:26 (HK), 06:08 (tokyo), 06:16 and 09:01 are the most impressive, and HK is the brightest, no wonder HK is crowned as Pearl of the Orient!

we dont see hong kong, shenzhen and canton as a unity, because hong kong is different enough and qualitified (either geographically, culturally or economically) to be an entity.

Ya right....

Then why is Hong Kong loaning money from China?

Since we are "gays" "culturally inferior"?

And you are "economic center" of Asia
