  • The writer and actor heads to the Far East to experience a day in the life of Hong Kong, a complex city that is a mix of the ancient and modern, East and West, and where consumerism and spiritualism live side by side. Griff helps run a stall at a bird market, goes on a bus ride with a group of Chinese tourists, has a water fight with a troop of boy scouts and joins schoolchildren being taught a unique method of mental arithmetic

    I stopped watching TV 5 years ago. I find every thing I want on TH-cam. And now I AM BINGE-WATCHING "TRACKS". Trapped by the sheer diversity of coverage. Thanks to all the girls and boys at TRACKS, and Griff Rhys Jones - one of my most favorite off-the-wall, idiot, loose-nut, clinically-insane, out-to-lunch, not the nine o clock comedians gone Serious. Thanks, Griff.

    I saw different cultures very well integrated in this video. I'm a native Cantonese and very proud of my culture that I found HK is the best place to show the full profile.

    I was lucky enough to meet someone from Hong Kong.
    If this man was a representative of what Hong Kong people are like, I’m very impressed.

      Hongkong used to have a rude reputation in the 90s during my first vist. Apparently they fixed the problem, I spend few days a month during 2011 to 2913 in Hong Kong, the people were so friendly, helpful and spoke English fluently.
      Soon, Hongkong will not be the same, it'll because a dream

    Like Griff's travellogs and how he presents them....ie down to earth and with humility. This was interesting & well done, but no mention of the awful pollution in Hong Kong.

      I was lucky enough to spend 2 days every month during 2012 to 13 in Hong Kong to renew my visa . Smaller schools in Guangzhou were to cheap to provide a visa ,so many foreigners teachers, businesses man/women had to travel to Hong Kong to renew a visa. My passport looks like a novel. It was a nice chance to try street foods, shop until midnight on the streets in "Ladies Streets"
