Hong Kong MTR - West Island Line - Stations and Exits


View Proposed New MTR Stations - West Island Line in a larger map


Recently I have been looking for real estate in the Sai Ying Pun area and heard that there will be a MTR project in progress. Given that these station locations and entrances may affect the property value (for better or for worst) I decide to actually see if they overlap the areas I'm interested in. To my surprise, I could not find a Google Map of these stations. So here's the one I created based on the information I retrieved from the MTR website: http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/projects/future_wil_sil_proposal.html

After all, this is just a proposed list of entrances, if anyone spots any major variances, please let me know.

Where are they? Vegetarian Restaurants in Hong Kong

Food and Hong Kong are essentially synonyms. However, the category of Vegetarian is usually overlooked. It has alway been at the back of my mind to actually find a list of vegetarian restaurants and actually go try them.

So, for those who are also thinking about this, here's your list:

Where to recycle your Computers in Hong Kong?

I was looking for places to recycle my old computers when I came across the government waste reduction website - a list of 15 locations in Hong Kong that collections old computers for recycling.

As usual, the government's 'Green' efforts are not particular user-friendly, so here's the map to the 15 locations.

Side note: I went to the one in Quarry Bay. Apparently, the EPD will send the computers to organizations who will salvage usable computer parts and build free computers for the under privileged. So just want to make it clear that they not "really" recycling the material like paper recycling.
