Hong Kong Life

Read an article back in 2003 on the BBC Web site which explains pollution “Ups the risk of SARS”. When is HK going to cut the pollution levels in the city? HK’s not doing itself any favours - taxi’s are cheap, there’s a lack of pedestrian walkways in some places, new buildings are being created…

Maybe the above issues could be tackled by the District Councillors? I’ve seen the flyers for “Voting for your Favourite Councillor” all around HK, but don’t really know what these guys are going to do?!

I took the escalator up to Mid Level yesterday and noticed a new feature…a whiny voice telling you to “Take Care”. I think the voice message is a good idea, although the speaker could of said the words faster as I could only hear the Chinese version and just heard the first two words of the English version until I got off!

I was thinking maybe the HK Government/Airlines in HK could give out leaflets to all new arrivals which could detail useful Cantonese words such as “Help, Fire, Watch out etc.,”. I think people who live here take English for granted and should try to speak the local language - for their own safety?!.
