Sleeping boxes are made popular in Japan Shinjuku capsule hotel and are finally coming to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong capsule hotel are equipped with Wi-Fi. Eric Wong, it’s managing director of Galaxy Stars Ltd., is bringing the trend of sleeping box to the city to offer much cheap, basic accommodation.

Each of these capsule measures about 90 by 180 centimeters, made comfortable for a small adult, and they can also be customized to fit into any size.

As for now, Wong added that it’s now only has showroom for the capsules hotel and it’s not ready for use currently. He hopes to partner with hoteliers in the future to open a capsule hotel in Hong Kong.

“Since the Facebook page has gone up, I’ve already been contacted by tourists interested in a place to stay on vacation,” said Wong.

“The actual hotel is ideal for the Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok area since that’s where most tourists look for a hotel.”

Like Japan, Hong Kong is short on space and during peak holiday seasons hotels are often at full occupancy.

This past December, mainland tourists were tricked into staying at love hotels by desperate tour operators.
Capsule dorms

Wong’s goal to introduce its capsule hotel to the mainland people in China, and he’s also targeting a niche consumers mainly the students.

But in Hong Kong, Wong is also targeting another niche consumer — the student.

If a group of 15-20 university students is willing to rent a capsule dormitory together, Wong will find property near their university and fit it out with his capsules.

Rent for a capsule dormitory would run to about HK$3,500 a month per capsule space.

“We will be strict about the hours of water and electricity supply in order to be efficient about management,” said Wong. “So students must accept this condition.”

In Hangzhou, China – Bike Sharing Programme

Anyone who claims that bike-sharing is a European-style transportation innovation has clearly never set foot in Hangzhou, China. The 50,000-bike system in this southern China city of almost 7 million people (about 1.5 million people fewer than New York City) blows all other bike-shares off the map. As Bradley Schroeder of the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy said, “I don’t think there is anywhere you can stand in Hangzhou for more than a minute or two where you wouldn’t have a Hangzhou Public Bike go past you.”

Hangzhou’s 2,050 bike-share stations are spaced less than a thousand feet from each other in the city center, and on an average day riders make 240,000 trips using the system. Its popularity and success have set a new standard for bike-sharing in Asia. And the city is far from finished. The Hangzhou Bicycle Company plans to expand the bike-share system to 175,000 bikes by 2020!

Po Ling Temple to be exact or some people refer to as Guan Yin Temple/ Kuan Yin Temple is situated within walking distance from KLCC Petronas Twins Tower. You can take the LRT and stops at KLCC station. Don’t worry, it’s not that far.

I’m not 100% vegetarian and i’m not a meat lover too. But most of the time, i’ll try not to consume meat too much. I’ll try to hunt down vegetarian food whenever i eat outside. Po Ling temple is a great place for vegetarian, it’s cheaper and it’s delicious. Most of all, they serves the most delicious vegetarian mix rice with the option of white rice or fried rice, Hakka Lui char, noodles and different variety of vegetarian food on different days.

I have no idea why i adore their Vegetarian Char siew so much, it taste soooooo delicious. Look like a char siew but it isn’t pork!..

It’s cheaper eating in Po Ling temple compare to other food stall around Kuala Lumpur.  No wonder, we saw quite a number of “Ang Moh” there. By the way, always remember to take the right portion and don’t waste your food. After eating, we need to place our plates into a basin easier for workers to wash.

According to their timetable the opening hours starts from 11 am, they haven’t actually finish preparing their food yet. Therefore, it’s best to arrive around 11.40 am.
