The Man Behind the Compass: Meet Mr. Greg
Gweiloguide was born because Greg realized that most travel advice for Hong Kong was either ten years out of date or written by people who had never actually had to find a reliable plumber in Mid-Levels.
This isn’t a site for “tourists” who just want to see the Big Buddha and go home. This is a site for the curious, the bold, and the new residents. It’s for people who want to understand the soul of the city—the “real” Hong Kong that exists between the cracks of the glass towers.
Why He’s Your Guide
Mr. Greg’s “mixed” background is his superpower. He understands the Western “Gweilo” perspective because he lived it in the UK, but he possesses the Local “Insider” DNA of someone who grew up in the back alleys of Kowloon.
- He can explain the complex etiquette of a Scottish Burns Supper and a Cantonese Wedding in the same breath.
- He knows how to adequately swear in both languages and know when it is offensive!
- He bridges the gap between the traditional 852 and the high-tech 2026 city we see today.
Mr. Greg didn’t just move to Hong Kong for a job; he moved here to find his “speed.” Now, he spends his days helping others find theirs.
