A subscriber of mine got tricked yesterday in Hong Kong by a "Black taxi", please guys, whatever you do, especially if you're a new comer to China or Hong Kong, don't get into an unmarked taxi or mini-bus. They ripped him off for a moderate amount of money and gave him a horrible first impression of China in general. In Hong Kong they speak English well and are good at convincing you to go with them, don't! There are busses, trains, taxis and even a ferry from the HK airport, everything is well signed and easy to navigate, there are plenty of English speaking people to help you. Same deal when you cross the border, ignore the taxi touts, just follow the signs to the real taxis.
