I have just moved to Hong Kong and an impressed by the design of the subway system here.
My commute to work involves three trains but only takes 30 mins door to door. Each interchange involves just walking across the platform to catch the next train on a different line. I havenโt seen this set up in other cities - are there any?

because everyone should enjoy the perks of a big city without having to pay the insane cost of living prices. more train stops! more buses! more walkable neighborhoods!!!

I have been fortunate to have lived in some great cities in Asia: Seoul, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
Only in Seoul and Hong Kong is it possible to take the subway and then within a minutes escape the concrete jungle and hike into real jungle/forest.
Love it.

And the only one Iโve watched twice.
A perfectly formed series. Not too long. Fantastic acting, styling, cinematography. A simple but compelling storyline and a satisfying ending.
Will have to watch it again soon.

I wasnโt really into musicals until my daughter became hooked. Now I realise I have seen quite a number.
Here is a ranking of the musicals I remember seeing, based upon my enjoyment of the performance on the day (best to worst)
Hades Town
Shrek (school production with my daughter as Fiona)
Ghost Quartet
Cabaret
Godspell
Bonnie and Clyde
Shout (school production)
Oklahoma
West Side Story
Cats
Shrek (professional)
Moby Dick (school production)
Six
Chicago (school production)
Lion King
Jesus Christ Superstar
Heathers
Phantom of the Opera (in Korean)
Les Miserables
And I am sure there are many I have missed (Nabi?).
Most overrated: Les Miserables
Nice tunes, but I have seen it twice and still canโt remember what happened
Most disappointing: Heathers
Love the music, but the production and performance on the day was underwhelming
Earliest memory: Godspell
Dad took me to watch it when I was about 9 years old. A fantastic afternoon as we first watched York City play football and then went to the York Theatre Royal for the show.
