Show and tell on mini van


How much can I tell you about HK from this photo?
This is a 16-seat public mini van...we use electronic stored value card for fare payment (the dark grey device)...they take cash too, of course (the beige box with green label)...the LED is a speedometer...if the driver speeds, we can call 9277 7643 to report...it was 5:12 pm when I took this photo...it was sunny yesterday...and obviously it was not easy for me to get a properly leveled shot on a mini van... :-)

haha the speedometer adds fright to the passengers than reassurance, especially when the van speeds on highway. Some of the vans have TV installed, so passengers won't be bored during long rides. There is another darker side to the trade as most services are controlled by triad and secret societies...

oopz why did I snatch the microphone from Lisi?

i love how something so mundane, can be of so much interest to the world - just because it is so different!
keep bringing shots like this :)

Lisi,
Intersting van. What's the cost to ride, is it a flat fee or is it based on distance traveled? I really liked the photo outside the temple, nothing like it here.
Thanks for the encouragement you left me on my blog.

Regards,
Mark

Siu Hang, that's a big dramatic, don't you think?
