The deciding factor in moving down the hill from the Peak, where I first lived in HK, was one night in a taxi going home, driver was geriatric and erratics, it was raining, the cab spun out and went, slowly, into a wall. No harm done but that was the last straw, and as I had no desire to own a car in HK and was sick of being reliant on taxis, we moved to where we could walk most of the time. You’re right about the bus drivers being mental too, tho.
Now I’m about to move to Riyadh - the metro has just opened but I won’t be able to avoid joining the ranks of car owners for the first time in 20 years. The question will be: EDC for the desert city???

Just the watch though ! No knifes or pens for me. I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. ...
Cheers Larry. It’s very photogenic…
…and as we all know interior car shots have the best lighting.
Looking great!
Love the different shots over the weeks in different lighting! The strap integration is so clean and precise...love it!
Yes re the strap.
It looks precise, flows seamlessly. My only question is whether to mount the orange strap or white. I’m think this one is by far the best for my everyday.
I reckon the grey is best for everyday but
I'm a fan of orange and have orange straps on a number of my watches, my DB28 and my FPJ CB for example. It's become a bit of a signature. I'm loving it on the orange since I got the C6 but can def see the advantage of the grey. I'm sure I'll swap out at ...
It’s funny, I bought the orange for my CB about 8 years ago.
And I usually mount it on that or a turquoise strap. So I’m not afraid of the orange for sure. I may hold off for bright colours until the summer. We’ll see.
You are of course technically correct Ronald.
But since I don’t really “carry” anything, this is the best I can do.
😂It seems these taxi drivers are getting a lot of crap these days.
At least according to some of the local press and the HK subreddit which I check from time to time. For me. Despite needing to buckle up and hold on tight, I will miss the old cars when they go (same in Tokyo). Also, I still tend to chose the taxi over Ub...
living in HK I've largely given up on taxis
they're simply too old, as are the majority of the drivers! Barely a week goes by without reports of another accident. Sadly the way the system works there is little incentive for the powers that be to change. I am aware of efforts to introduce more ev ch...
I rarely take either taxis or Ubers now…
Living quite centrally, and having learned the bus system, I am quite happy walking, taking the bus (green minibuses FTW!) and MTR, as appropriate. Uber has become near-useless: expensive and time-consuming to get a ride. Gonna take an Uber? Better book i...
I take the minibus quite a lot too.
And definitely when going to Central as it’s by far the most efficient from where I stay. But to be fair, the minibus drivers are quite aggressive too. Like the taxis one needs to hold on tight!! I have actually been in two green minibus crashes; minor st...

A relax weekend for me
No Apple watch for me. I could not get used to it. Just now for me a mini mini iphone. ...
