Sep 02, 2006 Hi Grubi, English is not a problem in HK. Pretty much everyone can speak it, apart from the cabbies. All the signs are in English first followed by Chinese. HK is so easy to get around and you should never get lost. If you ever do, just hail a cab, which are really cheap. Infact the transport system in HK has to got to be one of the most efficent and cheapest in the modernised world. The MTR is a breeze. I personally found people to be polite and friendly and I was never worried about my safety once. You will love it. I can give you some good recommendations for places to visit if you wish. Enjoy

…erm
'backup&homebrew solution' for my nds - since they all get imported
from hong kong anyway i hoped to get a good price
but first: transport in hong kong... is gorgeous! you buy a smart card
called octopus which is valid on everything, even the ferries, and just
use it oyster card style on the devices. but you can also use the card
to pay in 7-elevens, mcdonalds, photo… hong kong shopping & people watching |

First station I came to was Tsim Sha Tsui (pron: chim sha cheway) so that's where I got my ticket (incidentally, I spent far more time at that station while I was in transit then I did anywhere… Jade markets, and buildings, and Disney, oh my! |
