Candy Crush

No need to say that there is hell lot of people here in China, Hong Kong, and the one thing everyone have in common, when going from destination A to B, is that E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E, goes face down and looking at their screen.

In this short stay, I noticed one particular game that goes around and looks like everyone has on their phone, Candy Crush Saga, a puzzle game where you match three or more "candies" of the same colors, and you can download the app/game for free.

People are so absorbed in this, that they repeatedly forget to get off the transport or see where they are going. Two times, I have been witness that people went on the glass/sliding door because they didn't look up, one that almost got hit by a car for walking on red, and another who broke his phone because of rage - my guess he lost the game.

Never heard of this game before I came here, despite the fact that it came out sometime in 2012. So imagine how surprised family and friends are, each time they hear that I don't have this game, when they ask what level I have come to.

After hearing the same similar question for 50ish time of why I haven't I started or why I should start and all, I ended up downloading that fucking game. Now I regret it.

At the start it seems like a good way to get the time to go while waiting for MTR (Mass Transit Railway), buses or whatever transport I need to take to get from A to B. While playing I can understand how people get addicted to it... before I know it I was suddenly at level 35, and to my disappointing, this image came up...

Screw you Candy Crush!!!

Here I thought that I have found a game that didn't need help from others to keep it going, or connect/synchronization with other social network service.

Can't stop now, can I? (- _-")
