Like Sardine Hu in HK

8.20am.

And you squeeze in to get a place.

And if you're the last one to secure a place in the train, beware, your stuff your belongings your bag your shirt your something might get clamped by the door.

And you hope that you could hold on and breathe normally at least until the people squeezing on your right your left your back or in front of you moves at the next stop.

And sometimes, unfortunately, you can't fit in the last few centimeters of space left before the door closes and you would have to wait till the next train comes and you get a lil frustrated cause the clock is ticking.

And in the train, you should not move too much (which means no newspapers no mp3s no ipads/iphones etc etc etc.) cause you'll accidentally touch or hit someone's head hair arms fingers legs maybe buttocks or any other parts that you could imagine and the person will constantly check your face by looking at you A FEW TIMES (damn serious bout this) before you or him or her leaves the train and it could be really annoying because that kinda look sorta sound like "Hey, are you trying to molest me or something...

Yes. Everyone feels somewhat insecure in the MTR. Not that someone will really try to molest you or steal something away from you bag, but somehow for some reason you will just tend to look around you to ensure that you are well protected.

This is what it is like every morning on your way to work, especially for people who works around the busy areas like Central, Wanchai and Causeway Bay plus perhaps some areas in Kowloon. I used to put this as one of the top reasons for not wanting to work in HK -- commuting is just driving me crazy in HK. I would rather get stuck in a traffic in my own vehicle then to be squeezed like hell with people in frustration. 

Luckily, I only have 4 stops from home to work. Not too bad, just erm, 12 minutes?

And there you go again, at the Tsim Sha Tsui station, the door closes and opens and closes and opens and closes and opens and closes and opens....

.....the count may reach 5 or 6, sometimes. 

But I have no choice, as the title says, this is a unique sardine hu (hu=fish in fujianese) experience in HK.

*No photo for the day, well, I suppose photo-taking of such a scene couldn't be anyway possible.LOL*
