How to blend in with HongKongers in a photo?

  Not sure if I should claim this a unique HongKonger-thing but I was once asked by a foreigner friend, “A group of people in suits asked me to take pictures for them and they holded up victory signs with their hands suddenly!  Why!?”. 

  Frankly,  I have no idea why  but correctly speaking, this is an Asian  pose in general rather than just a hot pose for HongKongers.  As far as I know, this popular photo pose went way back from 20+ years ago, it’s a classic! 

  If you want to blend in taking pictures with HongKongers (or Asian), do the “V” pose and you are instantly “Asianized”, and if you want to be cute, use 2 “V’s” and point to your cheeks like Sailormoon.   

Here are other examples of V-sign poses!  Let’s learn and take pictures with HongKongers!
