I visited Hong Kong on the early November of 2015 as
indicated in the previous blog entries. I found 6 things that make me love
Hong Kong. Below are the reasons that Hong Kong is awesome.
1) Convenient
transportation
We explored all the Hong Kong attractions by using MTR and
ferries. We don’t use the cab or taxi for a single time. If use one word to describe Hong Kong public transportation, it is excellent. There are frequent buses, ferries, MTR to
cover whole Hong Kong Island. It enhances the convenience and saves times for travelers like us. Other than that, having an Octopus Card for Hong Kong public transportation also easier to go around Hong Kong. We don’t need to carry
heavy coins around Hong Kong. It’s incredible convenient. Octopus card
considers as my own souvenir after Hong Kong trip.
2) Hong Kong buildings
Hong Kong buildings are very beautiful and gorgeous. The
buildings (e.g clock tower, the court of final appeal, the legislative council)
have British elements since it is the former British colonial. I feel like I’m
in United Kingdom instead of Hong Kong. Moreover, Hong Kong buildings’ shapes
and tallness also quite astonishing. For instance, Lippo Center’s octagon twin
buildings, Bank of China Tower’s four triangle buildings. In the night time, I enjoyed the beautiful night
view created by these buildings at Victor Harbor promenade.
3) Local foods
I like the local delicacies of Hong Kong. One of the local
delicacies of Hong Kong that I like is soup macaroni with sliced ham. It always can be seen in the breakfast menu. I’m
the big fan of soup broth meals because less oil and heat. It’s my first time
experience soup macaroni. All the while,
I try usual macaroni tomatoes. Sometimes trying the new foods increases my
excitement. After back from Hong Kong, I do miss the soup macaroni and making
it but it tastes different.
I also found that Hong Kong snacks, noodles and Chinese
barbecue are similar to Malaysia foods. Taking for example, egg waffles of Hong
Kong same with Malaysia waffle. The difference is egg waffles Hong Kong is
incredible fluffy and crispy compared Malaysia.
Another difference is the street vendors sell the egg waffles while in
Malaysia the waffles stalls could be found in shopping malls. I even heard the grilling
egg waffles Hong Kong using charcoal fired stone oven but I never heard in
Malaysia.
4) Work dress of Hong Kong Ladies
I admire the work dress of Hong Kong working ladies. Although
most of them wear the dark color work dresses but it is not mundane and nanny
look like at all. In contrast, it demonstrates the professional and coolness. Their
work dresses also adding with belt, cardigans to completely change the look of
the work dress. Some working ladies use the scarf to make them look more feminine.
In
conclusion, I have to say Hong Kong ladies inspire my future work fashion.
5) Toilets’ cleanliness
The public toilets in Hong Kong are very clean and fragrance
all the times. The cleaners are very efficient
in cleaning the toilets. The designated cleaners clean the toilet once the
users out from the toilets. Not only that, the toilets also supply the toilet
papers. Unlike Malaysia, it’s very difficult to find the free toilet papers.
6) High Efficiency
Hong Kong international airport
Based on locals walking pattern, we understand Hong Kong is
a fast pace of life place and the locals need to be high efficiency. One place
that I experience Hong Kong’s efficiency is Hong Kong International Airport.
First in my lifetime I’m called for boarding 10 minutes before the stipulated
times. Everything is ready before the plane take off. It’s so different in
Malaysia that practices “on-time” basis.
