Finally reached HK
 

After an almost unbearable 16 hours on a plane, I have finally reached my destination.
Learned a few things over the last weekend.
- You'll never get into an elevator if you stand on the side to let people out first (everyone else will cut in front of you to stand right in front of the door)
- If you have money, you can pretty much step on anyone in the service industry.
- The service you get is WAY better than most vancouver places (i.e, they actually say excuse my reach or pardon me as they refill your cups and you don't even have to ask for refills)
- The traffic lights actually go from Red->yellow->green which reminds me of the GP launch lights lol
- It gave new meaning to rush hour.
- People have way more control over road rage here.
- The abilities of the Octopus makes me feel I just came from some backwater country.
- Gave me a new level of fear of heights (see picture of my room).

LOL, thanks to the guys who told me about bringing your own tissues. I was eating today at the places near the industrial centres and found out none of them have any shred of tissue for you to use!

Took some pics, will share more later.

View at night

so your living on the kowloon side?

I THINK so?
Weird thing is on the map it's in Tsim Sa Jui but it's also on top of the Kowloon MTR station??

is that a hotel? cuz the first pics u bed is like right against the wall w/ a plasma tv lol

no lol that's my room
I'm thinking of moving the bed away since I'm a little afraid of heights.... but the view is pretty nice at night

^^ if thats your relative's house, then u f**king RICH man!!! cost sssssshhhhooooooo much to get that view..

if its a hotel, then iono.. haha..

LOL, yes, yes you are, if you're at that MTR station, it's probably near that New World Plaza/Mall

such a gay looking color filled downtown :lol

Welcome to Hong Kong ;)

HA HA HA, You'll roll over in your sleep and go right out the window, yeah the city provides a free "night light" for you

wow u live just across from central..damn lucky bastard lol

u see any rx8's in hk!? :D

how long you gonna be there for??

LOL yea I was looking at the window glass expecting it to be some kinda triple paned bullet proof glass but it looked like it was only double paned! Bad for a guy who happened to break lamps when having bad dreams :p
Though I've seen like 520is around (now where's that link to the thread about 4 cyclinder c-classes and 3 series??)I haven't seen any 8s so far, lol maybe they don't have enough torque to handle the steep hills :p makes me miss vancouver already... I'll probably be here for good
