Call the wet-markets of Hong Kong slaughter houses if you want to. All livestocks, except larger four-legged ones, are displayed alive and killed within minutes of a customer's order. But really, it is not more cruel than any other more civilised wet markets in the world. Communication between the customer and livestock is just more transparent. "You have to die for my dinner" and "I don't want to die. I hate you!". Perhaps that is what makes HongKongers more honest and bold.
Avenue of Stars
About 100 pairs of palms prints of superstars in the HK entertainment industry line the pathway in Kowloon, facing Hong Kong Island. Apparently, palms prints of deceased stars who I know of, like Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung, were surfaced with the Avenue of Stars logo. Are they resurfaced upon their death or not pressed at all? Here I am with the palms print of my favourite HK celebrity, Sam Hui.
Star Ferry
This is one of the icons of Hong Kong. Plying across the heart of Victoria Harbour, the ferry service in its early days charged five cents per person. The fare is still comparatively inexpensive when considering other methods of cross-harbour transportation. Fares is $5.30 for adults and almost half that price for children.
Sheung Wan
The world's longest linking escalators is located at here. Without this, going home would be a strenous exercise. The escalators take you downhill in the morning till 10am and uphill from then on.
