OUR ROUTE:
"We TOOK THE TRAM first hoping to make it Central MTR station and from there to Causeway Bay Station to find Jardine’s Bazaar but a Filipina OFW told us to take the bus for Admiralty and there we can find the special Citybus CTB 629 but the tram prior to us collided. That’s too bad with tram. When two trams collide, all of the tram on route stops.
So, we dropped off, walked a little and stood in line at TOOK THE BUS to Admiralty West terminus instead.

"All of us were excited. The ride was so smooth and fast in 25 minutes.
That’s one of the things I love about Hongkong – NO TRAFFIC. Their transportation system is SUPERB. *Their MTR is located in the subway. *Their bus is point to point. *They have trams with ride all routes in the city. *Bus and tram use Octopus card for payment. Tram accepts cash to the last cent. That is why people there secure their cents well. It still has a value.
*Their taxis are also stopping on point and also affordable plus the drivers are honest and yes they speak good English.
**Above all, people are DISCIPLINED. They know where to take a ride. They also stand in line patiently. Whether they are wearing a branded watch or carrying a Gucci bag, they respect others."

"We arrived safe and full of energy to start the day and have fun! The sun was so high, we kept squinching our eyes for the photo shoot. Isaiah got our map for the park so it would be easy to stroll. He's our go-getter-map-guy.
