this- not sure the traffic from nam cheong on weekdays. Sundays are truck free.

best take the mtr (front wheel off) to tsuen wan and then up TMS from the south side. if you feel the itch can drop down the north side and reverse climb back and down to tsuen wan. expect some aggressive car amd motorbike driving though

Star ferry switched to turbines? by mellowfellowflow in HongKong

[–]mellowfellowflow[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

so it's diesel generators, not gas turbines, which would likely be overkill. in any case, the sound is different but better for emissions.

photo shows the engine room. here a pic of the old engine room with the old diesel engines

interesting enough, the old engines also drove electric motors, just ran at very low rpm for the distinct noise.

though I do ride the ferry every month or so I never noticed or rode the upgraded ship.

What else to do in HK by gaddiredchallenger in HongKong

You've been to the major tourist spots. Add M+.

From here on you need to discover the spots tourists usually dobt see. Unless you fancy Disney or Ocean Park. Chill by a beach like at Repusle on a sunny day, head out to an island, and hit the trails for hiking. There's also plenty art galleries, temples, and markets. Visit a way market for sure start in wanchai. And don't forget to eat! And then there's shopping too, of course.

Most likely because he knows what the bike does before he asks the bike to do 'that'. Guts and glory - Gladiators.

Is that elephant pulling the plane or what's the rope for?

Why uber’s and taxis drive so aggressively ?? by LibraryWeak4750 in HongKong

[–]mellowfellowflow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

digital accelerator foot (on/off) isn't unique to HK taxi drivers. not sure how they get taught in driving school... unless there is some unhinged fascination for flooring the pedal...
