my view in hk from my room is some BIG TALL ASS BUILDING.. it used to be sea view... but of course not as nice as yours... u are just lucky.

btw.. that big ass building is a court where TVB always use the outside as a shooting area for the law and police drama series.. hehe..

Thanks I'll post more interesting ones soon (i.e seeing Volks wheels on crapped out 10 yr old mini vans or guys in a 3 piece suit and dress shoes on a scooter LOL)
how are the new students this yr?
Yea it's at the Kowloon station but it's the one next to the one that you typed. I actually hate it being the middle of no where and to change MTR stations is pretty far at the Hong Kong Station and Central station!
And no, that tv in my room's not plasma

Thats life man, daily transportation, HK doesn't have 1/4 of the motorcycles other asian cities have, I think Taiwan has like 25million scooters, almost one for everyone on the island !

Kowloon Statin is not that far from HK Central at all only one stop, you do know the MTR goes under Victoria habour right? I hope your not taking the red line all the way around



When I stayed there my hotel was in North Point wasn't to bad but a lil far out of the way, just a longer MTR comute to wherever you want to go

For those that don't know, the flat that he's staying at right now costs in the neighborhood of HK 20,000 per feet. CAD/HKD exchange rate is at approx 6.20 right now....you do the math

I agree it does sound crazy expensive.
I think the HK government is meddling way too much with the economy here....

I've also noticed today even though HK is dirty and dusty as hell, and it's people so busy, I still see almost every car sparkling clean!

I just showed my dad the pics, and he almost reeled backwards at how much it must have cost to get that kind of view.

Watch me scratch my head when I see a lawn mower when I come to vancouver again
I had my first initiation today by pushing the first person at the MTR today (no, I don't mean push as in push them onto the train tacks )LOL
I see this woman glancing at me out of the corner of her eye and then put her head down and tried to cut in front of me in the escalator but I abandoned all notions of canuck civility and just pushed her back out of the way
Oh and I also discovered that no matter how hot it is, it's always good to carry a jacket in case you go inside a mall. I almost froze to death the other day at a resturant lol
I still haven't seen a G35 yet in HK.... are they designated as a Nissan Skyline here?

me in HK as well.... I have an ocean view.... in frigging Tuen Mun. Every squarefoot of my house costs about 1/5th of yours.... anyway oh man if your relatives are pimp go sneak out in their car (be it Lamborghini, aston martin, Jag, Ferrari or Bentley - they can't have anything cheaper living where you live) and drive right up Dai Mo Shan it's like initial D ver. HK.

Assuming the place is 900sq ft.

900 sq ft X HKD $20,000 = HKD $18,000,000

18,000,000.00 HKD = 2,883,350.51 CAD

1 HKD = 0.160186 CAD
1 CAD = 6.24274 HKD

Scary thing is 2.8 million HKD is considered average - normal. Have at least a whole list of friends that live in over 5 million dollar appartments in HK
