Some things I've learnt in the last 24 hours.
1) Contrary to popular believe, the food here isn't really that cheap. A bowl of Wan Tan Meen is HKD$18 and Beef Brisket Noodles HKD$30. Pet-bottle sized fruit juice is HKD$20. ZOMG WHAT. Where is my 40cents Xiao Long Bao?
2) Strangely enough, food at Ikea's crazy cheap. 5 pieces of swedish meatballs? HKD$9.
3) It's super easy to keep spending on crap. ie. 17 pieces of tupperware for HKD$49.99. WHAT A STEAL.
4) Everyone eats alot of noodles. Every corner you turn you'll probably find yet another noodle house!
5) (Most) of the people here are sweet as halllle but speak uber duper fast.
6) When they do they sound uber uncouth and rude. BITCH, PLS.
7) Kiasuism in HK is worse than in Singapore. Watch them people run for seats on the Airport express!
8) There are SO MANY ANG MOH'S HERE that I actually feel like I'm in the wrong country.
9) Comfortable shoes will fureaking save your life.
10) Rent is crazy expensive. zomgahhhhh.
11) The lights here at night are insanely pretty. I stood standing at my apartment window earlier and it's really one of the prettiest things ever.
food is NOT cheap, even at supermarkets.
