English isn't "the" official language, it's one of the official languages. And, by a wide margin, you're better off knowing Cantonese.

No shit. For all the talk about Hong Kong being English based, I had a couple of times where I had to rely on my poor Mandarin to get my point across. Totally agree with parent post, better learn some Cantonese, especially for taxi drivers.
