Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death

Hong Kong has to be the most convenient city in the world. Anywhere you want to go is within a ten or fifteen minute cab ride. And a ten or fifteen minute cab ride costs less than $40, which is like $5 Canadian.

Any type of food is right at your doorstep (at least if you live in Causeway Bay). And you never have to look far for any kind of service, be it optometrist, dentist, doctor, or a haircut.

Coming from a small town with three traffic lights, where the closest McDonald’s is an hour and a half drive away, it’s a bit surreal at times.

Here's a shot from my roof. Dig the old school buildings mixed in with the ultra-modern skyscrapers.
