If you like trains, buses, trams, taxis and all sorts of public transit, you probably have reason to visit places like Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, and several places in Europe just to ride on these well developed transit systems that are safe, reliable and comfortable means of getting from one part of the city to another. But there's one problem. You can't bring them home with you. Your joy ends once the trip is over. Then you're back to the drudgery of work, and commuting in traffic in your home city.
But there's a store in Hong Kong, that can solve this. It's a souvenir store that's dedicated to selling only public transport models. The entire store is full of tiny models of buses, trams, metro cars and taxis. You can pick them up in various sizes, and made of different materials. There are also a few dioramas of street scenes available, in case you'd like to spend a little more.
This is the 80M Bus Model Shop in Mong Kok, Hong Kong. You can find the place listed on our Culturally Adventurous map. It's a tiny shop inside Langham Place Shopping Mall, on the 8th floor. So be prepared to take several flights of escalators, or wait for a long time in front of the elevators and also expect to jostle for space with other shoppers. The shelves are packed with all kinds of models, so spend some time to take it all in before you choose what you're going to buy.
