This is a pretty common sight around the city.  These drivers service most all of Hong Kong for a starting fare of 18.00 HKD (a little over $2 USD).  It’s always an adventure jumping in a cab because more times than not, the drivers only speak Cantonese. If you don’t know how to  CLEARLY and CORRECTLY say where you are heading, you humbly pull up Google maps and start pointing.  It’s quite humorous and we usually get a chuckle out of the driver at the end of the process.  You might find yourself being told to buckle up before pulling away from the curb because if pulled over and passengers aren’t strapped in, the driver is slapped with a hefty fine.  Whether we are reminded our not, we buckle up because the majority of the cabbies seem to drive as if training for the Indy 500.

Safety first… thanks Hong Kong.
