another reason to avoid moving to Lamma:
1. Scorpions, Centipedes, Snakes, Mosquitoes. (I love nature)
(But I have yet to see these Scorpions).
2. Rude shop keepers. (Grocery store in Tai Wan New Village)
(???, then don't shop there lolz. It's like that scene on Don't be a Menace, where the two boys are in a liqour store, and the shop keeper gives them grief., I would have just said. I'm taking my business elsewhere. ptttblh, and why not do what others do, do a monthly shop, for big important stuff, over in Arbedeen, and grab the ferry to Yeung Shu Wan?)
3. Streets full of tourists at the weekend. (Maybe that was mentioned before)
(But they're brining money and prosperity to us though. how else can we generate the 1.21 Giggawatts of electricity? (movie reference.. but how else are we to generate income (BESIDES working in the city),
4. Lousy estate agents will charge you triple the usual rents.
(This one is a big beef with me, When first came here, I had crazy faucets that whe you turned on they made this angry gagagagagagagaga virbration sound. or grgrgrgrrrrrrrr, like growling lions of the Tin Hau temple, So then the guy replaced them no charge.... There are no screens here, so mosquitoes have their way with me), I'm going to put them up for my own sanity, and for the next dude who lives here.
5. Turning into, or is, the most expensive outer island in Hong Kong
(Insuficent data for rebuttal).
6. Beggars in the street.
(There's that one guy I've seen begging, he has no limbs but he's over at the IFC all the time), I've seen no beggars here except those kids asking for donations).
7. Burglars.
(Szchenchen yes, Lamma no).
8. Alcoholics
(HELLLL YES, like this one time this club hopper and his "wife", decide to push a feeble hobbling old man to the side, (because he was older, had prostrate problems and was trying to hold it in, (well we'll all get that way eventually), plus he has a bad back and hasn't been taking care of himself too well. Especially with the poisons from the mainland consumed). Naturally his son takes offense to this rude "lady"'s rudeness. (Pushing aside an elderly), and things escalated from there, Lucky for naieve boy, there were Lammites on hand to try and detere the melee. But come on you're suppose to drink and have a GOOD time not drink and be an angry bleep head. Who we had a rough time holding back. Granted the kid was an idiot for retorting a very foul description of the wife, and continuing to egg the clubber on.. dumb dumb dumb..... just let it go. But pushing aside older people.... That's just evil.
