Ya, sporeans are spoilt or lazy to walk or cannot walk at all. When walk to MRT for 10 mins, they say very far. If drive, will park as close to the lift lobby as possible. Stay on level 2, take lift and cannot climb stairs. If coffeeshop is opposite their house, they would rather drive over than walk. Lol.

If HK is not toddler friendly, then how did the locals get around with their toddler le?

That they don't have a choice, probably a lot of walking without pram.

I hardly see pram in other places.

Is Stanley a more affluent area? Or maybe accessibility is much better there.

as i mentioned in earlier post, HK shops now are more tone down not as arrogant as in the past, to a certain extent kinda sad seeing them behaving this way. Anyway most of them can converse in mandarin and not as hostile now.

Hong kong people speaks pu tong hua now ah? Thought they don't like to speak, esp quite 'unfriendly' to those people who speaks pu tong hua as they group them as ah tiong?! Lol.

In retail shops and F&B outlets there's no excuse not speaking pu tong hua. Easily 30-40% are mainland customers. Which explains the current retail slump after significant reduction in mainlander visits after covid. 

Especially obvious when stepping into higher end luxury retails. Most default greetings is pu tong hua first.

Even grumpy taxi drivers jiang hua yu now although they're still grumpy speaking it lol.
