In Already Tomorrow In Hong Kong, among the million of passengers whom commute every day, every week, every month, year on the World leading MTR Hong Kong MTR system…. There’s was one scene in where there was two people meet together through the MTR Hong Kong App… in which there was general mistakenly of indentions but  it work out together as newly young couple working out fine going through life together timelessly…

Another story develops on the Tsuen Wan to Hong Kong Central line in which this Cute Animie story plays in which basically as girl meet boy vice versa but longing for each other to the meet personally to have they first time that they spoke.. in which they first met at the Ngau Tau Kok Station, Mong Kok Station few other stations … in which they sometimes have miss opportunism in meeting each other at the right moment,  until that moment back to back each other they bump backwards together on the same train standing….  till they first spoke both “ Sorry didn’t do that deliberately” they blushed as they got together first time  with Chloe and Anson..

The Anime has some very hidden safety messages that says always stand behind the yellow line.. Always stand aside on the right or left of the elevator holding the hand rails also making sure that you pay attention to the people foot traffic ahead of you, and surrounding environment pay least attention to looking at your smart phone in being mindfully attentive to your environment… Also have your Octopus Card at the ready..  她和他的第一句話 – The First Time They Spoke has a lot of the recently Japanese Anime Your Name animation premise to the Hong Kong storyline in which how these characters Chloe and Anson meet… in which to the real life action one in the previous story in which of the extra add features of the MTR Hong Kong Corporation’s Mobile Application with added eco-system features of finding your way around the MTR Hong Kong Transportation network..

My next stop was back to Hong Kong Island in traveling back in first ferry by the time of getting back it was just walking back along the Tsim Sha Tsui Streets… in which was almost evening as I got back orthough.. Boat journey seeming this time was quicker than going towards Cheung Chau….  looking back at the same off the place where Police constable –Wong Tai Mui- Grace Chan adventured to with fellow actor Tony Hung whom plays an actualization of the Pirate King Cheung Po Tsai whom own, patrolled the South China Seas…..

As I disembark the ferry, from the First Ferry terminal in making way for the MTR for back towards Tsim Sha Tsui… in which did fully in Austin road terminal for some dinner in some off street restaurant for some wonton noddle soup….

My next day was onwards towards using the Hong Kong Trams in going for some exploration, in which they call Ding Ding’s in which the sound of the Trams bells makes, Ding Dings is not just a Zygon detector or a device that sense the presents of weeping Angels temporal residues throughout time and space.. In which the Hong Kong Double Decker Trams was established as the very first modes of public transport of Hong Kong Island over 110 years ago in which was establish proposed in 1881 then installed land on tracks on 1904 with a first fleet of 26 carriage trams in which was mostly built in the United Kingdom…

The modern Iconic Hong Kong Tram network today operates in between west to east coast of Hong Kong through Central, Admiralty… in between those two points in runs between on route between Kennedy Town, Western Market, Happy Valley, North Point, and Shau Kei Wan in which some of those routes do overlap each another…  in which that network is length wise is about thirteen Kilometres, of a total track length of thirty kilometers..

Going on the Double Decker Trams is relative easy, also it gives you a general unaided self-exploratory tour of Hong Kong Island to see the anthropologically feel of neighborhoods among the trams routes to see how place developed throughout urban- suburban designs also though sense of feel of the neighbourhood of people’s life as you look past by hand crafted window wooden frames…. Also its relative less expensive the simple ticket is relativity least three United States Dollars… In which you can payable in cash or by simply Octopus card by as you leave once on your chosen point of destinations…

As I was travelling on the tram in going westwards from taking the Central towards Kennedy town, alongside towards Sheung Wan, for some dry foods. In which Sheung Wan District has been noted for one of the best places of finding dried foods, along the western Des Voeux Road before Kennedy town..

As travelling in one, during that time even though viewing the neighbourhood also it’s people’s lives outside the hand crafted window wooden frames anthropologically, as well you can see that within inside the passengers whom boarded it from the rear door and exiting in the front of the tram….  As I boarded the tram it’s basically a living museum on the go, as I could see the historically relics that are still installed analogue, like the gears, the dials, the foot pressed bell, that became so Iconic that rang Ding, Ding signalling its way the once wooden bench chair seats are now replace with retrofitted plastic vacuum form ones that looks like it’s dated back from the 1970’s..  From those days, Hong Kong Trams comes in all forms of advertising liveries… in which makes them distinguishing individualistic from the rest also in brightens up the neighbourhood as they go…

This, your, my Octopus card is far more important than this card in the late 1980’s Diners card advert… Really  is…!

One of the most important pieces of plastics, with a magnetic strip including a NFC chip, is the “Octopus Card”; it has the same dimensions of a standard Credit card, with exclusive features…  As from the first post written that arriving onto back to Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong, as coming back to Hong Kong, the first thing was on my mind beside customs, immigration, Accommodation, also that of my luggage was having too much fun on the carousel…..

Having getting re accustomed with my first Home of three, Hong Kong… adventuring setting foot wise onwards to Nathan Road to Tsim Sha Tsui Subway station in which is in the corner of  Nathan Road, Haiphong Road..  Having walking downwards towards the stations reception in awaiting in line for the inquiry in purchasing one, at the MTR Customer service Center, in which is normally located in the center of the stations between the inwards and outwards flow of the stations hall

After purchasing an Octopus Card, with a deposit for one, is at 50 Hong Kong Dollars (~ 10NZD), in which you can top it up following amount that you required, but a good 100 Hong Dollars (~20 NZD) will do it for a generally getting you by for a week or least that’s depends of how you travel in between unitizing the subways trains, the ferries, Trams and bus network systems travelling in between Hong Kong Island also New Territories … but for now it’s best topped up the card least 300 HKD (~ 60 NZD) for just in case just to get you by in case that you don’t use it to shop for food, groceries, in Octopus Cards affiliated stores in which most places are affiliated with an octopus card NFC reader instore, or a sticker labelled outside the store…. Also if you can’t find the nearest subway station customer center to top up your card you could try the nearest Seven eleven stores around normal open least 24/7…….

When you try to get to know the subway station networking neighbourhood around it’s best to grab a subway map from the customer service center, or there’s a “Hong Kong MTR – iOS App” in which finding it very usefully when there’s various updates with networks that you’re travelling within, the app provides with ambulances of useful information having using it of find the times, best directions on which train route that I’m on or travelling too.. Somehow wondering how along the way of how did I lead myself writing up from Octopus card to MTR network that’ll be another on another post.. but they are very much in a really good relationship together
