Octopus Card

When people told me how important an Octopus Card was in Hong Kong, I didn't really believe it. But, after just being in Hong Kong for 6 days, I've realized the importance. First of all, it gets you on any public transportation (MTR, bus, etc), A lot of shops and stores and even restaurants accept the Octopus Card. The campus uses Octopus Card for printing, vending machines, and to get food. This system is pretty cool and it is really awesome to see how its wide use makes it easier as you have one card that can do multiple things. It would be so awesome if they have this in America, but it would take too much change and time. In the time being, I will Octopus Card ahead in HK!
