HK vs TO

Nov 30, 2005 20:15

I had to be downtown this morning, and for once took the TTC all by myself. It really struck me this morning of all the differences between HK and TO; things I have to remember to write out in my travellogue ( Read more... )

So is the air in HK any better in the winter than the summer? Or is it always equally bad? I've been watching this show on Omni about HK and it looks like a cool place for shopping. :3

Heh, pup cup is really cute. Released in the same set was Little Wanderer. So expensive though. They also just received a really nice figure of Noodle (from Gorillaz). Also mega expensive. TwT I love Magic Pony though. It's a good thing it's so far away, otherwise I'd spend all my money there...

I really don't know, but I'd hazzard that it's worse in the summer because they have humidity - only much worse than us. In the winter it's not nearly as cold as here, but it's a wet chill so it can get to your bones.

The shopping is definitly tops!!! Almost every price is negotiable, and no tax!

Pupcup is cute, but I wouldn't buy him for $80 :\
But I would consider splurging on Eggdrop Ajaja Dunny, Tinpos, and on a few Bastardino Cactus Friends (which the website currently lists them as $0!!!) XD

Oh evil money taking place *___*

I was looking at cactus friends too. :3 Usually when there's no price it means it wont arrive for a while. :(

I'm guessing it will be about $12.

I actually like the train system in HK~
From my week in Ontario, HK transportation system was a helluva lot less confusing even if I supposedly understand english better. I love the cards~ so convenient~~ like debit for trains!

Yup, don't you love how HK news tells you the "air pollution" percentage? The fact that they have to tell us that publically is fantastic

HK streets are pretty lonely at night, but also VERY SCARYYYYYYYYYY. I think you went at a pretty good time though, I've mostly been back for summers and it's just BRUTAL :(. Right when you walk out of the airpost this wave of HUMIDITY and SWEAT runs right out of you. Plus I always feel so insecure in HK because of ID-theft ~

Luckily HK put in the fine for littering, otherwise the streets would be so much more dirtier than they are now. I hate using public restrooms too (X_X)

Yes, I luv public transport in HK!
MTR, little bus, bus and taxis... transpo is inexpensive, especially when compared to all the expenses of owning a car >___
