I'd use the one on the escalator but I'd feel like an idiot standing in line for 10 mins for a $2 credit...

I did 2 roundtrips tween hollwood rd and central plaza on friday and kept it cool and cheap with a quick swipe at the faresaver each time.
there should be more of these kiosks, which would encourage people to get off the road.
There is a tailor who does this octopus pockets as well as mp3 pockets cleverly hidden behind ties.

The watch I want is out of stock and apparently impossible to get. All the MTR stations are out of them. Well, at least 3 MTR stations are out of them... I'm not QUITE dumb enough to check all of them

I accidentally bumped into the Central Plaza faresaver thingie last week and there was this guy who had at least 20 cards that he was swiping.

I figure he was the office boy and all the employees gave him their cards to swipe. He had the decency to let people go ahead as he was sorting his cards.

I saw a $2 fair saver at the buliding near the Exhibition and Convention centre.
Cant recall ( ) the name, but you have to cross it if you go to the exhibition centre through MTR. Can someone please help me there.

There is also one in Provident centre, North Point.

Thankfully Jay my Momma taught me self control, so I manage to pack my daily needs into a slim 128mb
