Huja Likes:
-The Octopus Card makes paying for things a breeze.
-Inexpensive public transit. Most subway trips cost about 60 cents. I haven't yet spent more than $6.50 for a taxi ride.
-Milk Tea. The tea is strong and it's not too sweet.
-Bakeries. You can't walk a block without seeing one or two of these bakeries that specialize in single-serving treats for the grab-and-go population of HK.
-Delivery Services. You can have just about anything delivered to your flat. I have a case of soda, cooking oil and several jars of condiments coming this afternoon.
-The idea that slapping a fried egg on top of anything makes it breakfast. I've had a fried egg on top of a bowl of egg noodles and a fried egg on top of macaroni and ham.
-That I'm of average height here.
-Seeing people walk their dogs.
-The professionalism of the staff at the apartment complex.
-The location of the apartment complex.
-Spending $3 US for a satisfying meal.
-Finding a cable channel that broadcasts the NFL and NASCAR.


Huja Dislikes:
-The Humidity. Bought two dehumidifiers last night. They were nearly full this morning.
-The Produce. Lackluster selection and quality of fruit and veggies so far.
-Customer Service. A native Hong Kong citizen who spent many years in the U.S. told me not to expect the American level of service in HK. So far he's been right.
-Finding someone new to cut my hair. This is perhaps what I like least about moving.
-Spending $15 US on a box of imported laundry detergent.
-The pollution.
-Having to read labels at the grocery store to make sure food goods are not manufactured in China.
-How late things open. I have not yet found a 24 hour grocery store. The local chain near the apartment opens at 8 am.
