Totally! Taking the Star ferry across the bay at night from HK to Kowloon is always a favorite way to end a nice evening out.

HK has never "felt" overly Chinese to me. The RHD Toyota Crown cabs are still running around. British street names everywhere. Lots of languages being spoken on the street. Different nationalities are plentiful. Very different feel from when I get off the ferry in Zhongshan and step into mainland China. it'll be a real shame if the PRC uses this unrest as an excuse to finally roll over HK and take full control, giving up 1 country 2 systems.
