Confusion

Many things here are very confusing.

1. At a Chinese fast food restaurant, there would be a place you place the order and pay. Then you have to hand the receipt to someone down the line, who prepares your order and then give you a different receipt.

2. Beer here cost the same as fruit juice at a restaurant.

3. At the immigration office, you must line up for a number/app first, then wait for your name to be called for someone to process your paper work and fingerprints, then have someone else print a temporary ID on a piece of paper after fingerprinting the same fingers again within a span of 10 minutes.

4. The temperature is only around 80 degrees outside, yet I can't run more than a mile because my cardiovascular system simply cannot handle the humidity outside. Usually in NYC, I wouldn't even break a sweat after a mile, here, I would be drenched.

5. It would be completely sunny outside - and be pouring down rain at the exact same time. However, the rain does not actually decrease the humidity in the air.

6. Everyone thinks a 5 minute walk is far away.

7. According to a recent survey, over 2/3 of Hong Kong residents enjoys shopping as their number 1 hobby. This is all citizens, not just the female citizens.

8. All the cars drive on the left, but the people walk on both the left and right hand side. The escalators are arranged in mixed fashion - sometimes the left ones would be up, sometimes the right ones would be down. Half the time, we're suppose to stand on the right and left people pass, sometimes we're suppose to stand on the left. Running is an even worse disaster - with people all over and faster runners must weave through the people to pass.
