HK is definately a walking around city for sure. Transit is really good once you actually get into the city. I think between 8am-10am, there is a rush as a people go to school and work, something to factor in. STeeLy probably has more accurate information since I was pretty zoned out when I reached HK after a long flight. As I said, its not something I would recommend, but if I were to spend a few hours in HK, it would go like this:

- Eat (best food in the world, even though it looks crammed and dirty, the more crammed the better, as there is a reason why its so crammed - people want to eat there. Just pick one that looks like a hole in the wall but is popular, they'll be everywhere.)

- Shop (good way to submerge into the HK culture, and everything is cheap. If its electronic, its probably black market too, who knows. DVDs are guerenteed to by pirated. If you can, find a good street market that sells all sorts of interesting widgets. Last year, I picked up a couple pairs of GAP jeans for $5 each, a iPod Nano sleeve for 25 cents and a few dress shirts for cheap as well. I think Tsim Sha Tsui is a popular area for that, or Mong Kok (Ladies Market is what its called, but its not just ladies goods its just the name), both are by the MTR train)

- Eat again (any sort of bakery or another hole in the wall place)
