Journey on a Tram



Traveling on a tram in Hong Kong is pretty much the most unique experience one can have. You are floating along the predetermined path, with people coming on and getting off, sometimes deserted and sometimes crowded, you might see your neighbours and decided to have a chit chat, or you can stay quiet throughout without uttering a word. Unlike other means of transportation, this is the only means of vessel where you can actually see what has gone by, and not rushing things through. You have an impression of things you see, equally, you are leaving an impression to others who see you, strangers brushing past one another. Some people choose to dozed off for the entire trip, waking up not remembering seeing anything, some people decided to do things which are slightly more useful.

Whichever type you are, there comes a time when you have reached your stop, no matter how the trip was, you still have to get off, what lies ahead, no one knows, but a certainty is that you have traveled a distance, how you experience it depends entirely on you.
