Even though the language was a barrier, my time in Hong Kong was glorious and reminded me of why I loved Barcelona so much: you don't need a car to get around. Hong Kong is a metropolis with a super efficient and intuitive metro system that affords one a cheap and reliable transportation option that eclipses the advantages of owning a car. If you're really pressed with time, or are not a fan of the crowded metro, the option of riding in Hong Kong's iconic, red cab is always an option. You'd be riding in the same style cab featured in the movie Rush Hour 2 with Hong Kong-native, Jackie Chan. In his attempt to follow "Ricky Tang," Detective Carter (played by Chris Tucker) flags down a "taxi" and only succeeds in conveying his urgent instructions to the Cantonese driver after giving him a wad of money. The driver subsequently responds, "Now you're speaking my language."
