Citizen Mr. Huang: If you don't open it again, all the advantages will be shared with Singapore.
Mr. Huang, a citizen, said that he intends to "return to the countryside" after the relaxation of immigration measures, and will travel to Japan, South Korea and Thailand.
Mr. Huang said that before the epidemic, he had planned to travel around Japan by way of island tour, but the epidemic broke out when he arrived in Tokyo, and the plan was forced to shelve.
After three years, the epidemic situation around the world has become the norm, and entry measures have been relaxed one after another. Mr. Huang intends to restart his plan to travel around Japan, so he went to the parade today to collect information. It is expected that he will visit Osaka, Hokkaido, and Wakayama, Japan next year. Travel to other places.
Mr. Huang also said that he had intended to restart the plan to travel around Japan some time ago. At that time, there were many rumors that all parts of the world had planned or switched it off. Feeling pressure, he has the "0+3" arrangement, but he thinks that even "0+3" is still troublesome. For example, in the first few days after returning to Hong Kong, he will not be able to have meals with his colleagues at work.
Regarding the government's distribution of consumer coupons, Mr. Huang thinks that it is not very helpful. "Thousands of mosquitoes are very few. It feels like going up and down quickly." He also pointed out that if you want to visit Japan now, no matter the price of air tickets or hotels Both are expensive. Although the exchange rate of the Japanese yen can be reduced by 20%, the local price also increases, and the difference is not significant.
