So here are some facts i find out about Hong Kong
1. SASA - the cosmestics chain store
It is like a wild dog in kl as in u will see one just few shops or houses away. SASA is totally crazy. They are everywhere. Along the same street, i see 2. and opposite these 2, i see another one opposite. and opposite "the opposite" i see another.. they are totally crazy......
2. The walking culture..
WTf... normally in kl, i just find a parking space. and in Hong Kong? yes, the MTR station is so advance and i have to walk like 12 hours a day.. and MIND YOU, the definition of "NEAR" for hong kong ppl is really......NOT NEAR..
They define a 15 min walking distance as very near, 20 min as near, maybe 1 hour walking distance as far.
3. The economy vs business class
Basically, i was assigned an economy class for the hotel i am staying in causeway bay. So.. on the 2nd day of stay, at around 12 something, i smell some smoke coming out from the next room.. and it is freaking crazy as the smoke becomes stronger.. and i called up the hotel operator, and they help us to change to room. they know it is their mistake so initially i was in level 12, they reassign me and mum to level 19. I remembered when me and mum walked out from the elevator in level 19, it clearly states that it is "BUSINESS LEVEL". YES. what do u expect of it? i mean a bigger room, maybe an LCD televisyen with more tv channels, a bigger bathroom.... and perhaps with internet connection. EXCITED, ANTICIPATED, OPEN THE DOOR.
OMG.....
OMG.....
OMG....
THE SQUARE FEET OF THE ROOM IS STILL THE SAME. so what about business level
1. A nicer bedsheet, as in they just put a coloured small towel on the bedsheet to make it look nicer
2. OMG......a better HOTEL PEN (as in u know.. hotel often has a pen in the drawer)
3. WT* ...... a better broadband connector.. they dont even have the wireless device.. andwant to if use internet service. if u want internet connection, 30 min for HKD 30, HKD 120 for 24 hours.. So basically it is like a whole month streamyx in malaysia
4. they include those bath robe..WHAT?? i dont even need it..
except from the three keypoints above, there is NO difference btw economy and business level.
4. Some facts about hong kong ppl
- 80% of the hong kong ppl i meet (such as sales girls, customer serive representatives) are indeed very RUDE. U seem to be like OWING them money when u are their customer. There is no concept such as customer service in hong kong except when u go to airport or bigger chain store.
- So i came across with a store selling clothes, this conversation goes:
June: Do u have pink colour for this design (June showing a grey coloured dress and pointing it POLITELY to the sales girl)
Stupid sales girl: (Laughed sarcasticly).. Cant you see it? the dress u holding is GREY, NOT PINK and she said in a very rude,loud and teasing manner.
June : WT*, (june thinking: wtf.. i am not blind, u dont have to repeat the colour to me). So, i just forget about it, since i like the dress so much. I make sure there i isnt anythign i wanna buy in the store, then go to the counter. telling the STUPID SALES GIRL i want that DRESS from her. While she is packing it for me...
June: (in cantonese and smiling in a very polite manner) Is it ur boss give u a lot of work today?
Stupid sales girl : (apparrently noone esp stranger ever asked her this question) she said :"HAR"?
June : Oh,, (still very polite) i asked because ur NIAN3 HEN3 FEI1 CHANG2 CHOU4. I throw HKD 30 on the table, grab my dress and walked out.....
i wished i could have an eye on my back to capture her reaction...
PLs.. u give me HONG KON PPL attitude, i give u HONG KONG VISITORS attitude also.
4. HONG KONG FOOD
