No they are not. As far as I know they are US based and do not have an store outside US. They have Body Shop in Hong Kong though. I remember there is one in Mong Kwok.
3 :
Not your specific franchise. Hong Kong has its own body shops which are privately operated

If you live in Britain are your only choices of Disneyland parks to work at Paris, Tokyo, and Hong Kong

If you live in Britain are your only choices of Disneyland parks to work at Paris, Tokyo, and Hong Kong?
Or can you work at Disneyland, or WDW too in the United States? I'm actually not from Britain i'm curious for a friend. But, are you not supposed to come to the Disneyland and WDW since there's already so many people who want to work there in the U.S.?

You would probably be better off at a Disney park where English is the main language, right? Then you have to deal with getting the proper papers to be able to work abroad. Hong Kong used to belong to Britain; maybe that would be a good choice for you.

Walt Disney World actively recruits cast members from other countries, especially to work at Epcot. I don't know the process, but perhaps looking at the corporate job openings for Disney

How is easy is it for Americans to live in Hong Kong

How is easy is it for Americans to live in Hong Kong?
Before Hong Kong was released to the Chinese mainland, Americans could easily work and live in Hong Kong due to British rule. I know many families who used to live in Hong Kong. Now, though, is it easy for an american to move to Hong Kong?

Because of the "One country two systems" policy, Hong Kong hasn't much changed. So I think it's still easy for foreigners to move to Hong Kong.
2 :
of course, many foreigners live in hong kong. i can't imagine why though, i was in hong kong march 1-march 3 2007. it is very crowded and dirty. if you don't mind living in the big city, there are many people that speak english there. i didn't like it and prices aren't any cheaper than they are in the u.s.
3 :
If you can get a job there, there is no problem living in Hong Kong. Not much has changed since it reverted to China. However, I don't like Hong Kong - too expensive, too crowded, too much traffic (driving on the left side of the road), and too dirty. Shanghai is much better - cheaper, too.
4 :
Chinese are naturally friendly to all people of all races even Americans hahaha. I was only joking. Not much different from under British rule that I can tell.
5 :
Easy. Just get use to the Chinese and the crowds. You don't really need a visa to go there, but will require you to have a work visa. You can stay as long as you like. Some of my family have been there for more than 20 years and they are all american citizens. GL.
6 :
Its very easy and Hong Kong is in some ways better than New York City.

If I buy the new iPhone 4 in Hong Kong, how would I get it to work on the mainland

If I buy the new iPhone 4 in Hong Kong, how would I get it to work on the mainland?
I'm moving to China this summer and I need my new iPhone. I noticed it said that it will be released in Hong Kong in July but there was no mention of China. My question is how I can get it to work on the mainland, specifically Guangzhou.

Apple announced that the iPhone 4 will be available in Hong Kong end of July. http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/06/07iphone.html But for now we don't know if it's locked or not. If it's locked you can't use it in China (or pay huge roaming fees). If it's not locked it will work fine in China (GSM) since most HK provider use GSM too. So if it's not locked just put your SIM card in and that's it. Update: you can cut any normal GSM SIM card into a micro-SIM -- here is how: http://www.ihackintosh.com/2010/04/convert-mini-sim-in-to-micro-sim-for-ipad-3g-yourself/

You may face social reprisals in China for owning an Apple iPhone. Everyone should avoid Apple products. A mass protest and clashes occurred at the Apple store in Hong Kong on June 6. Apple is the focus of an emerging nationwide boycott across China. All of Apple's products are manufactured by the infamous Foxconn Technology Group founded by multi-billionaire Terry Gao. A large number of Foxconn employees in China have recently committed suicide, died from exhaustion, and died under mysterious circumstances. There is a massive anti-Foxconn and anti-Apple movement now sweeping China. Do not buy Apple products. Do not bring Apple products into China.

Following the release date, it should have open network for Hong Kong. Depending on which sim you use, some sim cards will work in Guangzhou much as a China Mobile sim bought in Guangzhou will work in Hong Kong, but of course the rates will now differ once you cross the border and started to make calls. It should work in mainland China, again, just have to wait and see if they are locked or not.

Hi there, I'm living in Guangzhou and using an iPhone 3G which I bought in Hong Kong. Here just some comments: 1) The notion "you shouldn't use an Apple product in China" is bullshit. Apple products are selling like hot cakes in China 2) You can buy the iPhone through Apple's official website in Hong Kong (www.apple.com/hk/en). The price is quite expensive though but you don't need to get a contract 3) SIM lock, very common in the U.S. and Europe is forbidden by law in Hong Kong. All phones sold here (except those on the gray market) are normally without SIM lock. All you need to do is enter the SIM card in your iPhone, done. I used my iPhone in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Germany without any problems. 4) China has different networks. The iPhone's 3G technology only works with China Unicom. China Telecom needs different kind of handsets (that's why the iPhone also doesn't work with Verizon). So you better get a contract with China Unicom. Mine is RMB 188 / month and provides 300MB of data and enough free minutes. If you go for China Telecom you can only use the slow EDGE network. The 3G network is quite good. I used it in different cities. It's very fast and reliable. 5) If you go to Hong Kong, get a 3G prepaid card. They charge you according to traffic, but the maximum charge is HKD 25 / day (that's around USD 3.50 / day). Not a bad deal at all.
