So, a while after my previous post and I’ve worked out more to the dynamics to hong kong crowds.
1) elbows don’t count.
Like other non-contact sports (eg soccer) dealing with crowds is considered non-contact.
Again, like soccer this doesn’t include elbows. So lift your arms and push others aside and push your way through.
Elbows are an advantage you have without breaking the rules.
2) what’s your real target?
Some might think their destination is where they wanna reach quickly, this is wrong.
All that matters is that you reach the eacalator first. Even better if there is lift.
Use suggestions from point one, if you reach the lift first, a great sense of achievement will be achieved.
Once you reach the escalator, feel free to block others path. All that matters is that you got there first!
3) fumble
Once you’ve got the first two points down pat, you should try this one.
After you’ve elbowed everyone out of your way and blocked the escalator, it’s time to cause a queue at the ticket gates.
Octopus don’t scan? Can’t find it! These are two common excuses you should have on standby.
What’s it matter about leaving the station anyway? The escalator was your only real target.
I hope these tips can help improve your stay in Hong Kong
I had a camera with a decent telephoto lens.
This poison comes instruction free.
Do what you want, but I’m drinking….
Hanging on a cigarette,
you need me,
you burn me,
you’ll burn me….
Best ever breakfast.
Tiger Toast!
A good use of my new oven too 
Thanks to my collegues in Melbourne, I now have an oven in my flat!
Its a snug fit into the kitchen, but will really finish it off now
With the lack of a balcony & space for a BBQ, this gives me the ability to grill things
Now for the action shot!
You’re not a Man unless you’ve climbed the great wall… and I’ve climbed it!
Most tickets for places in China (resturaunt, great wall, etc) are postcards too, including the postage. So i thought why not, and posted it back to myself in HK from China.
There has been recent talk about the M’sian goverrnment pushing for Bah Kut Teh to be renamed, so that the muslims don’t get confused with their Chicken Bah Kut Teh and end up eating pork. This isnt what i’m writing about however.
I received some BKT mixes in the post, (thanks btw), however noticed something funny on one of them.
Pictures of pork, yet it has a halal symbol? ha! If the difference between “Pork Bah Kut Teh” and “Chicken Bah Kut Teh” is too difficult, imagine this! pictues of halal pig
I managed to get some! Found a NZ guy selling, picked them up this morning. Cost a fair bit more than face value, but still ok in my view.
I can’t wait! Who wants to come with me?
This was probably the most vile thing i’ve drunk in a long time. Green Tea Sprite with Lemon. Wrong!
Though Marcus would probably dig it.
