A university Professor friend teaches her grad students about the "6th grade science introduction." This is the introduction that proves some ridiculous thought wrong. "Did you think clouds are big fluffy marshmallows? Well actually (YOU MORON), they are drops of liquid suspended in the atmosphere."
Every travel guide about Hong Kong begins with this sort of intro. Wikitravel guide may say it best:
"The traveller weary of its crowded streets may be tempted to describe it as Hong Kongcrete. Yet this territory with its cloudy mountains and rocky islands is mostly a rural landscape. Much of the countryside is classified as Country Park and, although 7 million people are never far away, it is possible to find pockets of wilderness that will reward the more intrepid tourist."
