Reminds me of the time I was transiting through Hong Kong for a day (this was in 2008). I had to get the street address of a local place. Found a computer kiosk at a tiny Museum of Tea! Unfortunately it was all in Cantonese, including the browser language setting. I went to yahoo.com but it redirected me to yahoo.hk or hk.yahoo.com (I don't remember). This was rather annoying and I worked at yahoo at the time.
