It's impossible to be an efficient pedestrian in Hong Kong. After 3 days, I still have not been able to find a direct walking route from my apartment to the subway station, which is literally across the street. First of all, the buses are twice the size of New York buses, and they move twice as fast. Don't even think about jay-walking, they will mow you down without mercy. Also, most of the sidewalks are fenced off so you cannot cross at whatever point you like. Even on most street corners, there are not any places to cross. There are sky-bridges that one can utilize, but for some reason this particular one on my intersection has entrances on all corners besides my corner of the street.
So, it takes me about 15 minutes of looping around just to get to the other side.
Met up with Jeremy, my pal from Architecture school after work today. We walked around Central for a bit, and took the tram to this Wonton Noodle shop which, despite its humble interior and storefront, was one of the best meals i've had in Asia, hands down. I rarely run across food that i had never tried nor imagined before. And it was undescribably good.
