	HongCouver at AllExperts
		HongCouver or Hongcouver is a portmanteau referring to Vancouver in the aftermath of the large-scale Chinese Canadian immigration of the 1980s and 1990s, particularly as a result of Hong Kong returning to Chinese rule.
		The term HongCouver itself was already part of Lower Mainland and to some extent Canadian zeitgeist by the late 1980s, surfacing on a larger scale around the 1997 return of Hong Kong to Chinese rule.
		The word aroused particular controversy when it was used in a National Geographic article concerning the migration and its impact on Vancouver.

	Talk:Vancouver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hongcouver is rarely seen anymore anyway because, even though it was invented by Chinese kids during the outmigration from Hong Kong, early on, it was adopted to mean something derisive; or was claimed to be.
		Hongcouver is about the flavour of the city since the influx; that's all; and non-Chinese use it both derisively and just casually, in reference to the era (it was quite a different place before, y'see); it's not necessarily an ugly word, but to sensitive ears it can be.
		Hongcouver (which never was in wide use, and only became a big deal because of the NatGeog's use of it) is no more racist than the OTHER Chinese-invented names for Vancouver (New China City, for instance), which are widely perceived in the non-Chinese community/ies as aggressive and arrogant.

	HongCouver (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		'''HongCouver''' is a somewhat derogatory term referring to Vancouver's large Chinese Canadian population, particularly that originating in Hong Kong.
		Being Canada's major port on the Pacific Rim, the city has always been a significant Canadian landing point for Asian emigrés.
		The term HongCouver itself only really surfaced around the 1997 return of Hong Kong to Chinese rule.

		In 2001, during a stay in Sweden he shot many reportages making a city portrait of its capital Stockholm, focusing on the economic aspect of the country (Ikea) and on its scientific area (Kista Science Park), without neglecting the entertainment (the Sweden circus.)

		I think sex and crime sells… that’s probably why this film was undertaken as a first reflection of Hongcouver. If a film of Doug Jung, Hapa Family or Dragon boat paddlers had sex, crime and drugs, then there may be an audience.

	the UGLY Chinese Canadian » Blog Archive » does Chinese block voting allow fools in?
		As I review the past history of Chinese Canadian leadership in Vancouver, I cannot help but to recognize the fact that leadership, like our City’s current real estate market, occur in cycles.
		This clash has been the rubbing point for many non-Chinese (including other Asians), giving rise to deserving, but slanderous racial overtures of “Hongcouver” and “China’s playground”.
		Obvious things like spitting, chatting loudly, queue jumping, picking their various orifices (nose, ears, ass, teeth), insular ethnic superiority, etc. But worst, imported into Canada, are some of the business ethics, or lack thereof of it.

		I live in North Vancouver and it's kinda laid back and slow to change but next to us in West Vancouver, they have tons of money and the Iranians lovely, gentle people that they are, are taking it over.
		Now Vancouver proper is split into many factions, but Hongcouver pretty much covers it.
		Heading south we see Richmond, or as it's affectionately known, "The Ho Che Min Trail" but some Anglos get confused a bit as it is very much a Chinese area.

		The book proceeds with accounts of the author's re-location to Vancouver (in a section titled 'Hongcouver'), a four year relationship with a Filipino, a three month vacation in Southeast Asia and a two year stint working in Bangkok.
		All chapters move in various directions; descriptions of countless casual sexual experiences, meditations on a variety of dead ends in terms of relationships, personal insights into the habits and beliefs of the cultures he engages with, and multiple referencing.

		Blooming on the southwestern coastline of Canada in British Columbia, Vancouver is greener and balmier by far than the rest of that northern nation, drawing stiff upper-lippers from the east to what they’ve christened Lotus Land.
		And it welcomes Asians, who soon feel so at home they’ve dubbed the place Hongcouver.
		Tourists such as I call it San Francisco of the North—lured equally by the city’s sublime setting nestled on the waterfront against a lush backdrop of tree spires and mountaintops, and maybe the flat-out best dining in the country (with no small assistance from prime local vineyards).
