    Crowded Hong Kong

    As HK gets more and more crowded there is always a chance for some sort of arguments to creep up, people bumping into each other etc.

    this is a latest video found on Youtube, its an argument that the people seatings legs either hit/touched the guys legs who was standing.

    We should all think how lucky we are that HK does not allow guns and tasers to be sold legally or everyday we would have someone going postal. That could be a good thing as it would reduce the population.

    Guns sound like a perfect solution to this overcrowded city...

    It would help if people didn't rush as if 2 minutes was the difference between life & death. I had one mid age woman run straight into me at Admiralty, being a 170lb regular gym goer, she bouced off me several feet on to the floor and then gave me grief for not giving way to her! I was thinking WTF?!

    In all my travels I've only ever seen people run off the plane, run to immigration and then run to collect their luggage, in Hong Kong.

    And yes, that platform at Admiralty is a nightmare - even getting off the train there is an obstacle course, it's all shoulders down and barge!

    And then there's the annoying opposite of the rush hour - the lunch hour crawl where people are strolling along four-wide on the busy streets. I guess they've had their lunch and are burning the rest of their lunch-hour.

    that's nothing, you wanna seen the chaos on a daily basis in the hung hom interchange from west to east line, so dangerous now to have so many people rushing, especially the fact that hung hom has no barrier screens and very tight/narrow unguarded platforms.

    mtr need to sort this out bu installing barriers/screens as this is an accident waiting to happen..

    That was probably me. Why do you consider it strange? There is a bus direct to where I live that goes once per HOUR ... if I miss it, I wait an hour. Wouldn't you run? Besides, it's good to get the circulation going again after sitting down for a while.

    Else you can take E33 that runs much often and take a quick ride by cab from Tuen Mun...no need to rush like a mad lady ;-)
