If you see rather more people on the streets of Budapest beaming from ear to ear today (Friday, Oct. 6) than usual, it’s because today is World Smile Day, and Hungary is one of the countries grinning for good.
Opinion
My Hong Kong by Luisa Tam
For Chinese people, a smile says so much more than words, so why all the long faces, Hong Kong?
Chinese people place a lot of importance on smiles, and they can reveal a lot about someone’s character
Visitors to Hong Kong often remark on the lack of smiles, so maybe we all need to grin and share it a bit more
