Whats the "Florida" of your country?

[Joseph Cao]

We've got some rather…unusual…activities on the southern coast of Hong Kong Island, plus a new theme park that promises to out-Disneyland Disneyland. Our senior citizens are fairly uniformly distributed across the city, though I suppose places like Sha Tin have more of a reputation for them. But the parts of Hong Kong that people tend to regard as more than a little kooky are the western islands, for reasons that rapidly become clear when you look at their inhabitants. Cheung Chau comes to mind.

I believe no Malaysian state is the butt of more jokes than Perlis, the tiniest state in the country, home to a parliamentary seat whose name literally translates to "large field," and with a population so backward it's clear why nobody else lives there. And they deserve every joke they get. (This is all in good fun, just to be clear.) Except for Singapore, sleazy politicians, and bad weather, nothing unites Malaysians more than ragging on that overgrown forest clearing.
