Ten Things....

Ok..since theres this crazy fad going on about blogging 10 things abt urself... I shall hereby blog 10 things I notice abt this country...HONGKONG!! 10 things I noticed abt the place, pple, food etc etc since my move here....



1) Theres always bound to be some water drops dripping on you as you walk thru the streets!
Somebody has gotta fixed those leaking air condition condensers! Everywhere u walk in HK. BEWARE OF DRIPPING WATER!!


2) All the porridge here...taste almost as smooth as the Crystal Jade one!!!! YUmmMMM


3) the Hilllsss are alive...with the sound of Music
Yes, HK is reallly extremely hilly...Slopes everywhere!!!
I get all huffyy and puffy walking up that slope to my place from the marketplace area.

4) Taxi Drivers here are extremely .....weird! So far, just 2 short months, met taxi drivers who:
- Give u a BLACK face when u tell em where u wanna go in mandrin
- Scold you upside down for driving up a slope tts dead end (but have space to U turn!!!)
- Cheat you of some change (I dont usually have the habit of checking my change in the cab before I alight...now I try to!)
- Talk to himself for the WHOLE cab journey! ( i was freaking out)
- Speed down the slope and suddenly jam brake

Only good thing about taxis here, you can almost get a taxi at any time within 10 mins. No need to call cab! Oh and over here, calling cab even gives u cheaper rates if you want to go to the kowloon side!! haha funny

5) Everybody here does FACEBOOK (www.facebook.com).
Friendster is out

6) At KTVs here, pple dont just sing. They drink, smoke, play card and dice games
And KTV is known as 'Cheung K'. Ngor oi hoi Cheung K ( I want to go sing karaoke)

7) The weather here is mad! Super hot to super wet to super windy to super terrible air!
The fog can be so bad that all the buildlings can disappear suddenly from my sight!!!

8) Food here in general is more expensive than SG. Lunch cost a minimum of 25 HKD (tts 5 SGD). No S$2.50 bah chor mee..i miss u...
BUT...the only cheaper food i found was....
EGG TARTS!..n super delicious egg tarts, only cost 2 to 3 HKD!!!!!
i love egg tarts..........

9) Its a norm for a family of 5 to stay in a 400sq feet house. Tts the size of my current house!
Treasure ur space back home in spore!

10) Octupus card (their MRT transitlink card) can be topped up at most supermarkets, 7 elevens etc. N can be used to buy food at many many many places (not just MacDs!!)...super convenient!!!

Actually think i have more observations...will leave em for laters............

GOod nite all!

Luv from HK!
