Should prams/strollers be categorized under the “no-charge” fare for Taxis in Hong Kong?  YOU BET!
I sometimes do get charged for putting my stroller in the trunk of taxis.  For a $18 HKD cab fare, they will charge me $5 HKD.  Unbelievable!  That is 22% of the total cost of travel – which is absurb.  My sister recently got charged for putting her stroller in the back of the taxi as well and you know me and my family (if you follow our blogs) – we are rather outspoken and verbal …

When you stop feeling challenged – maybe it’s time for an attitude change?  There are people who like to sit at a certain level (be it their job, career, personal development, relationship depth, shoe collection size, style, whatever) and there are people who continually push for more.  Sometimes the push is subconscious, because these are the people with FIRE (as my boss likes to say) and PASSION (as my sister likes to say) and DRIVE (as I like to say).  Sometimes the push is from a superior and/or external source …
