Hong Kong Trip part 1

HongKong is really an amazing place to visit~


I was amazed by their transportation system at the first day I arrived Hong Kong, you can see all the taxi around you and you can just as easy as wave your hand to hire one. Their taxi are all running with meter bill, so you are not need to ask for the price from them. It is fair enough, unlike malaysia, we have to ask for the price first before taking taxi. 


The second I was shocked was their escalator speed, it is very fast until I almost fall down from the escalator at the first step I step on it, I used to go to Singapore before this, but I think Hong Kong escalator speed is faster than Singapore speed. The reason why Hong Kong and Singapore need such a high speed escalator is because they need to serve the high dense population in their country. Malaysia should be followed them as well especially in high dense population places like KL central.


The third shock was the speed of their Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system, the MTR system is so perfect and their speed is so fast. If you want to change the railway, you not need to go out to the MTR station and change it likeMalaysia, all you need to do is just walk a few steps to get another railway and all are in air-conditioning. Normally we are used to wait for monorail or LRT about 4 to 7 minutes, and 15 to 20 minutes for KTM (sometime wait 30 minutes also can't get it), but in Hong Kong, the time you need to wait is just about 1 to 2 minutes (sometime I am not even have a change to sit down to take a rest, then the train already arrive). I am not sure how long is the train, but I judge it is atleast 4 to 5 times longer than our LRT.

So imagine our Malaysia LRT in your mind now, then now imagining another railway which is moving 4 times faster, 4 times longer, the escalator speed 2 times faster, not need to walk out railway station to change the train, all air-conditioning, all the people are using touch n go (they called "octopus card")~is
How it looks like? lol~ is it scary?

Will blog up another view in next post. Time to search for food~ :p
