FYI, I will not post something everyday (especially once I start work) After saying that, I went to get my HK ID card today and then to the bank. (which did not have my cards ready to pick up as they were supposed to) Jack and I went up the mid-levels escalators which is a long, interconnected series of escalators and conveyor belts. (the ones that are not in the form of stairs) This may not seem impressive to you, but we are talking about a distance of about 16 streets that this crosses. Something like the distance from the Brewery District to the Arena District in Columbus. (all up a steep hill side)
On the way back down, we stopped at Subway; where I ordered a coke for my drink. Upon filling up the cup with coke from the fountain machine, I noticed that there were tons of bugs floating on top and stuck around the inside of the rim. I told the woman working the counter and she just said, oh, no problem, take another cup. Well, I second guessed myself as to whether the bugs were in the cup beforehand, or if they had come out of the fountain station faucet. Needless-to-say, I drank bottled water for the rest of the day.
I met with my Realtor today as well, and I have found a place to live. It is pretty close to the building I will be working in, however, it is not close to much else. (hopefully I will be able to find my way the 6 subway stops from the Central district to my new apartment when I am wasted) I will move in on October 20th.
(Pictures of the Central District and the Mid-Level Escalators to follow as I have run out of download space on Flickr) P.S. The Central District is really nice and I now have a better appreciation for the Island, rather than the initial idea that it was all old and dirty.
