title: Google Places API autocomplete not working for Hong Kong?
body: <p>Google's API has been serving well searching for cities within a given country. This happens server-side. However, for some reason it isn't finding <em>anything</em> in Hong Kong. For example, searching for Kowloon, a city in HK, returns an empty array. Here is the request:</p>
  
  <pre><code>GET /maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=Kowloon&amp;key=...&amp;types=(cities)&amp;components=country:hk
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This request format works great for other countries. Why is it behaving differently for Hong Kong?</p>
