I was surprised by this too! I have some friends who lived in Hong Kong for a while, but aren't native to the area, and they never mentioned Mandarin being so common to me.
I have to say I always get jealous when I'm in an area where multilingualism is so common. I'm like, if I had lived there I'd have learned ALLLL the languages. Free immersion!
