    I'm going to assume #4 is an exaggeration. I don't know too many people who live anywhere close to the 82nd floor.

    What's your problem? No need for unpleasantness. Or bringing skin colour into it.

    I was laughing when reading your post because I've never even heard of "priority tagging", but it was guaranteed I would find out about it on an expat website

    No, I think what you are talking about is Taiwanese Bubble Tea (Junjiu Lai Cha).

    In my opinion, Tai Hing does the best Yin Yung. I like it cold, and the way Tai Hing do Yin Yung is great, because it's cold, yet they don't dilute it by filling the cup with ice. They use ice, for sure, but what they do is place the plastic cup (sealed over the rim) into an empty bowl with a broad base, and then put ice in the bowl around the cup. Great way to keep the cup and its contents cold, yet rich and creamy, without the ice melting and diluting the stuff.

    For me it would be:

    - Octopus for practically everything
    - Echannel for when I can't get out of here fast enough
    - mobile service while on Mtr
    - Being able to walk through Victoria Park at night without getting mugged
    - Ability to walk or take public transit almost everywhere
    - relatively cheap to fly out of when I just need to get some sanity
    - Food delivery for when you are too lazy/sick/drunk to go downstairs to get it yourself

    Pls broaden that one. Being able to walk anywhere at anytime, no matter if you are man or woman or child, walk without fear, worry, getting mugged or getting hassled (except for the lucky face idiots and the "suit","copywatch" annoyances in very few places)....
