However, when I actually start the project, I realize that the different languages in Hong Kong do not draw a clear borderline or occupy a distinct niche like Los Angeles, as I have imagined. Here,multilingualism is demonstrated on two levels: the presence of multiple languages and people with multilingual abilities. Chungking Mansions can be seen as a microcosm of the situation in Hong Kong. In Chungking Mansion,even though there might be groups of people from the same ethnicity staying in a certain part of the Mansion, in most cases, the residents and their shops,restaurants or rooms are mixed. Thus, each language does not possess its own habitat, but share a common space with others. Also, when the tourists from different countries try to communicate with the local sellers, there is rarely any huge language barrier. There always seems to be a way out, a language they share, a bridge for communication.
