All other matters

University
+late hours of uni mean that nobody will kick you out of laboratories until the post-grad actually want to go home (they work from about midday to 2AM)
+small classes for EE
+good food selection

-floors relative to ground indicate how hilly everything is (Let's go from O to G)
-distance from hall

General
+air conditioning actually works in minibuses, buses and MTR
+public holidays still mean something like the city working at 75% intensity
+can get around late
+can still get home at normal transport prices until 1AM
+convenience in eating
+ 八達通,7-11,Circle-K
-can't buy some things in the morning until the store opens at 11AM
-pockets of hot and cold air feel really disgusting
-stuff is damp
-transport expenses can spiral out of control since it's a charge per ride system


Something about classes...
-domestic servants
-overstaffed places, even cinemas
-autistic and old people as cleaners at café de coral (asia pac catering)
--they say thank you and bye bye really loud, mister (xian sheng) are you done with the meal etc

Trying to write up something more sentence-like:
Hong Kong offers a high-service lifestyle at the expense of personal space and nature. People have created a human-habital space in spite of the environment.
• land reclamation - perhaps one day there will be no need for ferries
• air conditioning
• hillslopes and roads always being ripped up
