The Newspaper I was flicking through today carried an article claiming that people in Hong Kong are generally least happy in May and June. This is just the opposite of what I expected since, to me, since summer is associated with holidays and nice, sunny weather.

It could be that people get more depressed since there is no long holiday to look forward to – most people here work throughout the summer – and the weather is getting worse – hot, humid and unpleasant with lots of rain and storms.
