living on The Peak

P.S. I have that app too. Rather alarming, isn't it?

Penguinsix developed that app. It is quite alarming.

Does that mean I have to delete it?

You should see the one I've developed for Beijing. I haven't released it yet, but the numbers are absolutely unbelievable. Frightening levels of pollution.

Here is a sneak peak of the Beijing app using USA standards (which are pretty lax for PM10, which is what Beijing reports). Orange is 'Code Orange' (Los Angeles in Summertime). Red is Code Red (rare events in most of the USA). Dark red is a level above that and white is basically head for the hills.

No, but feel free to click on the ads

is there an android version?

[penguinsix]

There will be an Android HTML 5 version soon. Was working on it last week but got sick over weekend and still recovering.

And the iPad version...?

[Lootoo]

HELLLOOOOOO...... anyone living on the peak is LOADED and evidently happy to pay a ridiculous premium. The above mean nothing.

Not to mention the fact that many people living there are on expat packages that include mundanities such as "housing"...

i was recently at the GSIS on the peak when i should have gone to their Pok Fu Lam campus (which is just 2-mins down from QMH). it took us 30 minutes from GSIS (which is not yet top of the peak).
so i wonder what roads you take to make this in 15 mins.

I can only think of 3 ways of getting from the peak to PFL or QMH under 15 mins:
1) Helicopter
2) Cycling or Illegally Driving down Pokfulam Reservoir Road
3) Driving too fast and dangerous past 2 am on the regular roads

I'm with you HC - I find the Peak to be claustrophobic in the sense that there are so few ways in and out. I had a friend in the Matilda a few months back and visited her twice - I found the minibuses to be very full and the Peak Tram (took it twice) was a NIGHTMARE. I couldn't exit fast enough. But there were nice views on a clear day (rare, in hk!).
