	Hong Kong's Octopus Card
		HONG KONG (Reuters) - For years, the notion of a cashless society has been a futurist's dream deferred almost everywhere -- except, to some extent, in Hong Kong.
		Nearly every Hong Konger, including the car-owning minority, uses public transport at least once in awhile, whether it is the subway, bus, historic Star Ferry, or a train to the airport or to the border with mainland China.
		And although Hong Kong is partly spread across islands, the territory is compact and densely populated, making it easier and cheaper to implement a system to which nearly everyone will have access.

		Indeed, in times of economic uncertainty, the supermarket was keen to play down the somewhat ostentatious cost and play up that often-elusive concept of exclusivity.
		Putting the hamper together, he says, involved scouring the world for suppliers, dozens of late night phone calls to the other side of the world, and several last-minute overseas trips.
