Sundays here is Filipina day in Hong Kong. On their one day off, usually Sunday, they travel all over the place to spend time with their friends or cousins.
I travel to Manila 3-4 times a year to play in poker tournaments at the Okada or Resorts World casinos. One great thing about Hong Kong is that it makes a great jump-off point to other countries in Asia - Flights are short to pretty much all of them.
My girlfriend, and likely future wife, is from Tuguegarao which is only 1 hour from Manila by plane that runs around $40. Housing there is pretty cheap - less than a new Mazda Miata for a townhouse in a gated community with security.
And I am one of the few westerners that like Filipino food (mostly). Give me Prawn Sinigang and Pancit and Turon and I am pretty happy. Turon should be sold everywhere! Basically a Banana eggroll with brown sugar -- this should be THE treat at Disneyland. Plus, Jollibee is better than KFC.
I miss going to the Philippines - the stupid pandemic.
