inspired by tammy’s posts of lists…i decided to make my own

1. you know to avoid puddles because that’s where water drips from aircons
2. you bring an umbrella and a zip up in case of sudden rain or freezing malls
3. you bring tissue incase you need to go badly and there are only sketchy toilets around
4. what’s a liquor store? don’t you just go to a supermarket…
5. you rarely pay more than $5cnd/$35hkd for the average meal
6. burger king and krispy kreme are rare luxuries
7. pouring rain doesn’t stop you from going out, it’ll subside in the next 5-10min
8. hearing English always makes you turn around a locate the speaker
9. you rarely say you’re from China
10. you get impatient if the kcr/mtr takes longer than 3min to arrive
