Walk, playground, van and metro ride

Walking a very steep uphill in Hong Kong in 26 degree heat plus 65% humidity is a fleeting task more than any workout my two kiddies had done in the past. We walked up Ede road to Beacon Hill Road and ended up at the Lung Cheung Road playground (龍翔道遊樂場). It is a cute little park with a mini playground, but no swings. I wondered why no swings? It takes up too much room? Land is expensive.

What you see is what you get here.
We walked down hill from the park to a mini green van stop and took a ride to the Kowloon Tong metro station. My dad paid for everyone, but the stupid van driver accused some of us for not paying for the ride. HKD 19.50 for 5 of us which my dad placed a 20 bill plus he used his octopus card to pay for his ride. That dude made 50 cents! What a rude man?!?

Anyways, we head out to the metro and purchased our Octopus card. The card is very convenient to use as a public transportation debit card and also at stores if they accept the card.
