2. If I was to develop a mobile app, is it required to have it in English or Chinese?
Yes it will have to be both in English and Chinese since most clients you will be targeting are the locals here

3. How often do you use location-based app (Google Latitude, Maps, Facebook checkins, etc)?
Local people here are not really into the idea of this, they tend to just take a photo and tell people they are at that place or just a slogan to make themselves feel proud of themselves

4. How is the startup scene in Hong Kong and China overall? It it a mini-Silicon Valley or is it still budding?
Hong Kong people would easily hire someone from china to help develop their app due to cheap labour

Hey buddy, I am letting you know I am coming on July 7th or 8th. Can I get your email so we can get in contact?

Let me know! Thanks!
