Today, my mom and I took the subway to visit my grandmother at HKAC. We were transferring from the Island line (blue) to the Tseung Kwan O line (purple) and we got separated. The subway is very crowded and people in Asia dont mind running into each other. Personal space is limited and, culturally, pushing isn’t rude, as it is in America and Europe. Don’t worry, I knew what stations and stops I needed to take. We were reunited safely.
