Living in HK, it seems that Cathay Pacific has the best options available for most of the outbound flights, its natural with CX representing HK and all that, but i wonder if there was one brand that really represneted Hong Kong what would that be?
For me it would be HSBC - even tho it was started in London, i dont know if its the huge building in central or the fact that it was my first bank in HK, but HSBC for me is HK. I wonder if people feel the same about other brands.
Was just curious to know which brand/company to expats associate HK with and why?

HongKong & Shanghai Bank was actually started in Shanghai/ HK. HSBC is the worldwide holding company which was located in London prior to the handover in 97.
Some worldwide brands with HK origins..... DHL, Crown, DFS, OOCL just to name a few.

DHL? Blimey, it was started in the US and is now owned by Deutche Post. And DFS is just a part of LVMH.
Anyway I'd go with Jardines and Swire, possibly PCCW.
Growing up in London I saw HSBC all the time so not something that makes me think of HK.

DHL was started in Hawaii and then joined forces with a HK based courier, who was "given" the entire Asian-Pacific region. DHL grew from HK/ Asia. Check out the origins of DFS..... also from expats, who in true HK fashion knew how to sell out and profit.

The Hongkong Telephone Company - PCCW came very much later.
Longhair is a joke/disgrace - couldn't possibly represents HK.

How can anyone say that longhair is a disgrace? He is an activist working from his heart for the betterment of society.
I proudly second Long Hair
