Lantau Island, Hong Kong - Day 2

This day starts with my appreciation of public transportation. The Hong Kong subway is efficient and immaculate, and it’s the little things that hold all the wow. Electronic ticket booths are fully interactive, and you simply tap your destination to buy a ticket. We weren't there long enough to get an Octopus card, but the tap and go system is genius. Even convenience stores and many restaurants accept them as payment. 

The “no eating or drinking” signs cut down on the mess, but it’s a long wait to eat the bakery breads we bought for breakfast. 


Fresh from Arome, a prevalent chain, one is Uji Matcha and the other a Hokkaido milk cheeseburger. The green tea has a mildly bitter and very matcha finish, and purple potato makes a creamy filling. The cheeseburger is unexpectedly cheesy, a fluffy, airy bun with what resembles a white kraft single in the middle.
