I was in HK & Macao twice in the last 6 months. It was very unsettling and
dowright dangerous to find out that you're looking the wrong way when
crossing the street. The government in Beijing as part of the
non-interference promise during the "turn over" (no, not apple), intends on
keeping things RHD.

It must be as equally unsettling for the Chinese who drive in HK and Macao
during the day then commute back to Mainland China in the evening. They're on
LHD over there. Fortuitous that they still have more bikes than cars.
