Signs everywhere....

Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Another thing that strikes me, probably because I was just coming back from South Korea where everything is spotless clean and people are naturally respecting everything without beeing forced to, is the quantity of prohibition signs.
They are everywhere and for everything. Sometimes I found up to 6 or 7 signs on a rubbish bin saying:
do not throw outside bin
do not smoke (fine 5000 HK$)
please put the cigarettes ends in ashtray
do not throw lit cigarettes ends in bin (fine 1500 HK$)
do not sit on bin
please put waste newspaper in litter bin
and the best one
for complaints or suggestions please phone xxxx or hotline xxxx

Some examples of signs I found



I was not really expecting finding a sign here, but, here it is.

Please don't climb up

Last one in the bus. At the end, it is difficult to make the difference between what is forbidden and what is recomended to do. The "mind your head" sign should placed in a different place or be more explicit... maybe I'll phone the hotline for my suggestion. Why am I saying this? because I hit my head while taking the picture :-)
I suggest a sign saying "mind your head while taking pictures" or "Do not take picture (we decline any responsabilty in case you hit your head doing this!)"

To recover from this, I tried some Dim Sum. These are kinds of dumplings filled with different things. They are cooked on a steaming basket.

Discovering a New Culture

Hong Kong, Hong Kong

This is a very late post since I went to Hongkong last October 31, 2010 till November 3, 2010. The reason for the late post is I lost all the pictures and managed to get a copy from my aunt just now. And I'm trying to sort out the pictures.

Since 2004, I've always wanted to go to Hong Kong ever since the topic of us travelling was opened. However, the trip has been postponed and in 2008, they said we will go to Hong Kong again. I didn't put my hopes up this time, since I don't want to bawl my eyes out when they will postpone it again. Originally, I'm supposed to go with my cousins and grandparents but knowing my grandmother, she doesn't want to spend money on things like this. And so they backed out.

My mom and aunt decided to push through with the trip and I couldn't believe that I was going to Hong Kong. The 4-day vacation went to a total bliss. Waking up at around 10am and sleeping around 1am, why? Simply touring the place. I love Hong Kong! The shops, food, area... EVERYTHING!

I really want to go back to Hong Kong soon.
